Section : Adding a simple rhythm section

Now we have an empty edit, it’s time to learn how to add content to it. In this section

you will be introduced to three new concepts: tracks, clips, and loops.

In the last section you created a new project, and opened the default edit for editing. At

this point Tracktion will look something like the image shown in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1

The ﬁrst thing to note is how the display consists of a number of horizontal strips. These

strips are called tracks. If you have ever used a multitrack analog recorder or digital audio

workstation (DAW), you are already familiar with the concept of tracks. If not, for the time

being, just imagine each track as being a place-holder for a single instrument.

You may have also noticed that tracks have three distinct sections:

On the left you will see the track name, and an arrow shaped re-

gion (Fig. 5-2). This area is called the input section. We will look at

this section more closely in the next section, when we come to look at

making recordings with Tracktion.

The area on the right (Fig. 5-3) is called the ﬁlter area,

and you can think of this as your mixing console within

Tracktion. We will look at this area in detail in Section 6.

Between the two track sections described above, there is

a large, empty area. This is the arrangement area, and this is where your song will be con-

structed. To illustrate how this all works, and to lay down a rhythm part ready for the next

section, we are going to import one of the audio loops that is included with your bundle of

Tracktion.
