Audio Record Modes

By selecting an Audio Record Mode, you decide what happens to your recording and to any existing events on the track where you are recording. This is necessary because you will not always record on an empty track. There may be situations where you record over existing events, especially in cycle mode.

  • To access the record modes, select Transport > Audio Record Mode.

    You can also access the Audio Record Modes by clicking to the right of the audio symbol in the Record Modes section on the Transport panel.

Keep History

Existing events or portions of events that are overlapped by a new recording are kept.

Cycle History + Replace

Existing events or portions of events that are overlapped by a new recording are replaced by the new recording. However, if you record in cycle mode, all takes from the current cycle recording are kept.

Replace

Existing events or portions of events that are overlapped by a new recording are replaced by the last recorded take.
