Tracktion 3
If you recall from the beginning of this
section, the second step when making
recordings is to select a suitable start
point. For our purposes, we will start our
recording at the beginning of our edit. To
quickly return the play-head cursor to the
start of the edit, click the Return To Zero
(RTZ) button (Fig. 7-7).
The final step is simply to activate
the record mode, and play a live part. To
do this just click the record button
(Fig. 7-7). The record button automati-
cally activates the playback mode, and
begins recording. You will hear the drum
loop on track 1 play back while your new
recording is made on track 2. A recording strip will show the recording progress (Fig. 7-8).
When you are ready to stop recording, click either the stop button or the play button.
Now that you have made a recording, you can begin building up a complete song by add-
ing loops, and recording other tracks. Additionally, although we haven’t had time to look
at editing MIDI clips by hand in this Quick-Start Guide, you can use MIDI editing to make
tweaks and corrections to your recorded MIDI clips, or even create MIDI performances
entirely from scratch. Chapter 4.3 and 4.4 of your Tracktion Reference Manual discuss how
to edit MIDI.
You have already seen how to adjust the level and panning of your tracks, and how to
add effects such as delay by using Tracktion’s filter section. You may also have noticed that
Tracktion comes with a large number of other built in effects and treatments. If you add
a filter to one of your tracks, and look at the list of available options, you will find filters
such as EQ, compression, chorus, and reverb. You will even find virtual instruments such
as Tracktion’s built in sampler! If you want to learn more about the built-in filters, they are
detailed in the Reference Manual in Chapter 3.4.
Since you know how to add effects, and adjust the levels and panning of your tracks,
once you are done recording, you can begin mixing down your first song.
Feel free to spend some time working with your song before moving on to the final section
of this guide, as it is there that we will look at how to render your song to a standard audio
file ready for burning to CD. After all, maybe this is the song that will make you famous!
