Chapter 9: Recording Tracks 127

[OK - Keep Take] will save the take that was just recorded.

Copy 1st Chorus to Whole Song

If you have recorded one chorus of the song, checking this at the end of the

recording will copy the same recording to all of the choruses.

Overdub Underlying Notes

You have the option to merge the recording with existing melody. If there is no

underlying melody - this option will be grayed out.

Retain Past Last Recorded

You have the option to keep or erase any melody after the last recorded note.

Step Edit Notes

You can step edit a recorded track, or create a new track in the Edit Note/Time

Etc., dialog. Select Step edit Notes… from the MEL menu.

This feature is very useful if you have recorded a good take with just a minor

glitch. Rather than lose the whole take, you can use the step edit feature to fix

the track and save the take.

Note Number

The note is played out through the MIDI driver so you can hear it. The note is

also drawn on the Keyboard at the top of the screen so you can see it.

Input the MIDI Note Number. There are 128 MIDI notes. Every C note is a

multiple of 12, which makes middle C (called C5 for the 5

octave) note number

60. For example, C5 = 60, C#5 = 61, D5 = 62 etc.). In the example above

therefore the note = 64 would be 4 semitones above middle C, an E.
