=Real Time MIDI Recording= >
 * Add a software instrument track and select a software instrument.
 * Make sure that "Metronome" and "Count In" are checked in the "Control" drop-down menu. This will provide a metronome click while you record and will give you one measure of clicks before recording begins.


 * Click on the round record button or press "R" on your QWERTY keyboard to begin recording.




 * Click on the play arrow (blue while recording) or press the space bar on your QWERTY keyboard to stop recording.




 * ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS**
 * You may find it easier to drag a drum loop into your file rather than use the metronome.
 * If the part you are playing in is challenging it may be helpful to slow the tempo while recording using the tempo slider on the LCD ("Project" Mode), OR even automating tempo using the Master Track.
