Recording background vocals with Virtual Tracks

Record several takes of background vocals on different Virtual Tracks within

one playback track. When you are finished, temporarily assign each of these

Virtual Tracks to the various playback tracks so that you can hear all of them

at the same time. Keep one track open for recording then adjust the levels of

the other tracks as desired and bounce them to the open track. This will give

you a “mixed” version of all your background vocal takes on a single track.

You can now recall your original Virtual Tracks to be played back with the

new background vocal track. If you need to adjust some of the original takes,

don’t worry, they’re still safely stored as Virtual Tracks.

Try splitting your guitar signal so that you route the output of the guitar to

one input and the output of your effects processors to another input. Then,

record your guitar part to two different tracks. After you are finished

recording, mix the “dry” and “wet” tracks to your liking and bounce them

together to any available Virtual Track. You can use that track for playback

and keep the “dry” track on a spare Virtual Track. That way, if you want to

experiment with different guitar effects at a later time, you can recall the

“dry” guitar track and apply new effects to it.
