Recording with a Project Root Key

If you record with a project root key, the recorded events follow this root key automatically. This function is useful if you want to change the root key later and you want the events to follow.

Procedure

  1. Optional: Select the drum and percussion loops in your project, and set the Global Transpose setting on the info line to Independent.

    This setting excludes the loops from being transposed.

  2. On the Project window toolbar, open the Project Root Key pop-up menu, and set the root key.

    All parts and events are transposed in order to match the root key.

  3. Record your music.

Result

All recorded audio events and MIDI parts receive the project root key information. On the info line, the Global Transpose setting for recorded events is set to Follow.

After Completing This Task

Change the project root key. Your events follow.
