Recording on Several Tracks at the Same Time You can record up to eight Real Instruments and one Software Instrument at the same time. This lets you record voices and instruments together, and simultaneously record a backing track, for example. When you select a track, recording is enabled (turned on) for that track (meaning that recording will start on that track when you click the Record button). You can enable up to seven additional tracks by clicking the round Record Enable button in each track's header. The Record Enable button turns red to show that the track is enabled for recording. To disable a track for recording, click the Record Enable button in the track's header again. To record multiple Real Instruments at the same time: 1 In the Track Info pane, be sure each Real Instrument track is set to use a different input source. 2 Enable the tracks you want to record by clicking the Record Enable button in each track's header. Click the Record Enable button for each track you want to record. 3 Click the Record button in the transport controls to start recording. To record a Software Instrument at the same time as one or more Real Instruments: 1 Enable the Software Instrument track for recording by clicking its Record Enable button. 2 Click the Record button in the transport controls to start recording. If you enable more than eight Real Instrument tracks or more than one Software Instrument track, the track farthest from the last track you enable is disabled for recording, so as not to exceed the maximum number of recording tracks. To record on multiple tracks, you need to have an audio interface with at least two input channels for recording. You can also add and adjust effects for a Real Instrument track. For information about using effects, see "Using Effects in GarageBand" on page 95. 56 Chapter 5 Tutorial 3: Recording Vocals and Musical Instruments
