15 Lets Record Video Lecture | Tracktion 5 Tutorial: Master Music Editing - Video & Sound Editing

in the last video we covered the setup
for audio recording in this video I'm
going to actually record a song section
using rhythm guitar an electric rhythm
guitar as the example now a few videos
ago we edited a drum beat and came up
with kind of a groove so I'm going to
use that instead of a click track is the
basis for this song so I've loaded that
edit and added a few extra tracks I've
set up the input just like we did in the
last video so that I'm ready to record
guitar but I've only got one bar of this
drum beat well in order to get more bars
I could either loop it or I can
duplicate it I'm going to just duplicate
it using the D command to get about
eight bars worth of this drum beat so
that takes it out to bar seven so we'll
go out to bar nine I'll just drag my
flag for the loop out past there as well
not going to use loop recording so I'm
going to go down here and make sure the
loop is turned off the click track is
also turned off because I'm going to use
the drumbeat as the reference rather
than the click track and I'll soom out
slightly just use the up arrow for that
and in the click track I do want to get
accountant so i'm going to use pre count
count in length and set the count into
two bars I've already armed this track
for recording and so I'm going to give
it a try if it doesn't work out i'll hit
f4 instead of hitting f4 you can also
hit down here the abort is also
available down here while you're in the
record mode as you probably saw in the
previous video though I didn't mention
it so I'm going to make sure I'm rebound
to beginning you can use the home key
for that I also have that map to W to
make it easy to do it all with my left
hand so I'm going to turn on my electric
guitar and then check the volume alright
so that's working pretty good let's see
if I can come up with a part
[Music]
alright that worked pretty well and so
what I'm going to do is just change the
input to the next track like this I'll
just grab it take it to the next track
I'll turn this original one down
slightly so it's not too loud and I'm
going to double track this part so I'll
just record the exact same thing again
rewind to home I'm ready to go just hit
our and I'm ready to lay down another
part I should hear that part as I record
so i can use it as a reference for the
second round of recording
[Music]
alright so I've got two similar parts me
just expand this slightly and then if I
pan them to the opposite sides i should
get somewhat of a stereo spread because
I play them slightly differently we can
do that over here in the mixer using the
volume and pan control like this we can
play it back I'll just reduce the volume
of the second one slightly to get it
more imbalance
[Music]
alright so that worked pretty well
that's an example of doing a recording
and an overdub in the next video we're
going to add bass to this and start to
build up the song section thanks for
watching
