In Logic Pro, you have many powerful recording options for recording voices, electric instruments, acoustic instruments, and software instruments.
With software instruments, Logic Pro records MIDI data instructions which play the software instrument; the sound of the instrument is produced in real time by your computer. You can record the MIDI parts using realtime recording techniques, or you can use step input recording techniques, which allow you to insert MIDI notes when not recording in real time. And there are several advanced recording techniques available that can help speed up your workflow.
When recording either audio or MIDI, you can choose to record one track at a time, record multiple tracks at once (called multitrack recording), replace audio or MIDI recordings, or record multiple performances over the same section of a track, called take recording. With regards to audio takes, you can then comp your audio recordings. This process involves selecting the best parts from the different performances and piecing them together into a single, master composite take. You can also punch in and out of audio recordings to overwrite a portion of a previously recorded track.
Note: If you have added a Fade Out, it is temporarily deactivated while recording, so that you can hear what you record.
