How can I record multiple audio takes ontop of each other and not have to go to more tracks? I need to hear the previous take as I am in record to add to the track.Right now if I put it in record it will start to erase the previous take.

Hey Rounik, Thanks for your help.Where do I find the place in Logic to turn OFF replace mode? I use to use Cakewalk before Logic and you could record in a sound on sound mode allowing you to add and hear all the parts you are recording on top of each other.It is a great feature.

Hi Rounik again, I certainly appreciate you help.I am a woodwind player and I am recording a piece for 4 woodwinds.When I use the auto punch it "pops"when it goes into record.The "sound on sound" feature of Cakewalk allows me to watch the wave form and punch in and continue a line with no problem. for a recording example only: I can record the note C for one bar in Cakewalk,rewind it,record another bar and play the note E on the same track and hear the C while I play the E.Logic will not allow me that.

Sound on Sound-The new material is merged with any existing material.This means that any existing clips on the track are left unchanged and all newly recorded material is stored in the new clips.While recording,you will be able to hear material from existing clips.-Sonar User`s Guide.

Thank you very much. Where are the clips stored?

Thanks so much. I setup the audio track just as you explained. I am not hearing the previous takes when recording a new take. I have used Logic and ProTools for a while and have MacPro Video tutorials and have gone thru the manual. It seems somehow if CakeWalk can do this it should be a piece of cake for Logic. If you don't mind trying to overdub several takes on the same track while hearing the previous takes I would be greatful. Thanks in advance.

Thank you sooooo much, thought I was talking to myself for a while. I owned ProTools HD for years in NYC and then brought Logic into the TDM system. Bin info, audio paths, no problem, don't need Logic 101. It appears that Logic is just Not able to record sound on sound. Thanks for the multiple track solution, I tried that a few days ago with success. I am trying to provide my world class woodwind player, friend a way to record multiple takes Fast Fast Fast on the same track as he can blow multiple takes with mostly no mistakes (Bach style), he creates chord progressions on the fly. After that he creates seperate tracks for each take. I don't want to scare him from Logic as he has not had the pleasure to use the many great features of Logic Studio. Thanks again

Hello. I have always used AIFF, WAVE or SDll for audio format. I am working on a large project which most likely will not make past mp3 and the web (no mastering house). I will be sharing references files with my Logic buddy in new york. If I record in CAF is it a nonissue as I will bounce before uploading? Also if at a later date I decide to mix for a real mastering house will recording in CAF effect the quality. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. That makes perfect sense. CAF it is...

Thank you. Makes sense. I will track in CAF and bounce to AIFF or WAVE. Thanks again.
