Dropping in and Multi-tracking
Two things actually:
1. I’m recording 2 guitar tracks simultaneously but I need one of the tracks to be totally ‘clean’ with no effects and the other distorted so I can here myself playing it properly. The ‘clean’ track will then be sent off to a studio to be re-amped and mixed in a pre-recorded track. How do I do this? Can it be done?
2. Recording alone can be tough. If I make a mistake I don’t want to have to re-record the whole track again. Is it possible to hilight the bit where I need ‘dropping in’ so I don’t record over the rest of the track?
Thank

John,
First I will address the punch in feature … If you look across the top of the page you will see a boxing glove, just highlight where you want to punch in at and click on the boxing glove … Make sure the track that you are wanting to fix is in record mode … The way I like to do it is just record on the track below it and cut and paste … The one thing you have to watch for is to make sure that where you punch in and out at has a space between audio … Just record the first git track without effects … I usually will lay my percussion down and do a scratch rhythm track, record the bass and then go back and re-record the rhythm … Once you have your track just do a mixdown of just that track by highlighting it then go to EDIT > MIXDOWN > SELECTED CLIP, once you have that done just save it and then you can write it to CD from there … I hope this helps …….

Thanks for that. Yes, I was doing the cut and paste thing too but I thought there must be a way of doing it properly 🙂
