Hi Tekker, I think I understand about click tracks now, they are just a metronome track and you record 'over' it but its really a second track and then you just delete the click track? I thought you could use it to synchronise 2 tracks together, but I see now that you can't.
I would still like to know how you 'professionals' record you second and third tracks in synch with the first. I am doing it by recording one track. Fixing the program so you can hear that track while you record a second track and synch it by ear.
I thought (hoped) that you could use the Quick Mix effect or the Align Tracks effect to 'fudge' them together and even out any slightly missed timing? I haven't really got either of those effects to work yet, and am not sure what they will actually do.
Otherwise I am making great progress! I can do fade-in and fade-out (easy peasy!) and can compress OK, although I don't really understand why compressing a track causes the wave-form to widen and not 'compress' although I can hear that it is compressed.
My recordings improved amazingly when I noticed that my guitar has a thing called an 'exciter'
that had been on Max until just now. Now I am
much more mellow.
