When in the Mix Room you can use loop recording to record multiple takes in succession. This can help you when recording song verses, voice overs, etc. in a mix, allowing you to choose the best take when you are done.
To use loop recording, do this:
1. | In the Mix room, click on next to the record button underneath the timeline. |
2. | Select the Loop recording option and then configure the available settings as follows: |
• | Record to new track: select this option if you want each recorded take to be added to a new track in the Mix room timeline. This allows you to review each recorded take once the recording is finished. If you don't select this option, each new take is recorded over the previous one. |
• | Pre-roll: select this option to enable a pre-roll before the recording starts. Once enabled, enter in the amount of time in seconds you want the other audio in the mix to play before recording starts. |
• | Post-roll: select this option to enable a post-roll after the recording stops. Once enabled, enter in the amount of time in seconds you want the other audio in the mix to play after the recording stops before it loops back to the beginning. |
• | Countdown timer: select this option to enable a countdown before CyberLink AudioDirector begins recording audio. Set the length of the countdown (maximum 30 seconds) in the field provided. |
3. | Click OK to close the Recording settings. |
4. | In the Mix room timeline, click the button to enable recording on the track where you want the recording to be placed. Click to configure the recording settings by selecting the import source for the recorded audio, and whether you want to monitor the input. See Recording Settings for more information. |

|
Note: if you selected to add each looped recording on a new track, CyberLink AudioDirector automatically adds the new track underneath the enabled track in the timeline.
|
5. | Use range selection to select where you want the recording to begin and end, i.e. its length. See Range Selection for more information. |
6. | Click to record. After the pre-roll (if enabled), start recording as required. The recorded content will be added to the selected range on the enabled track. |
7. | Repeat your recording until you are satisfied you got the right take, and then click to stop recording. |
8. | Once you have finished recording, you can preview each take as required and remove any recorded files from the mix timeline and the library. |
