Recording the next track – OverdubbingRecording the next track is done just as with the first. Here follows asummary of the steps:1. Select another audio track and make sure it’s set to another audiochannel.2. Make sure the track is set to the correct audio input.3. Set up the locators and activate recording.Now, the previously recorded tracks will play back and you are able torecord the new track as an overdub.Recording from Play mode – Punch InSometimes it is useful to go directly from playback to recording. Thisis called “punching in”, and can be very useful. For example, if youhave made a mistake in the middle of a chorus, you can play back fromthe beginning of the chorus, punch in just before the flawed sectionand replace that section with a new performance.Similarly “punch out” is when you deactivate recording without stoppingplayback. If – in the example above – the chorus is followed by averse which is perfectly OK, you would punch out at the end of thechorus so that you don’t record anything over the verse.In Cubasis VST you punch in by clicking the Record button (or pressing[*] on the numeric keypad) during playback. To punch out, clickRecord again. Also, since recording always stops at the Right Locator,you can use this as an “automatic” punch out – just set the RightLocator at where you want the recording to end (in our exampleabove, that would be at the end of the flawed section to be replaced).CUBASIS VST6 – 70 Recording Audio
