when i record a song it only records up to 16 bars and then stops the recording. how do i change it so that i can record longer than that without it cutting me off??
thanxx
It's easy, drop in any sound or loop into any track (just use a loop you don't even want to use to be quick like a "dummie track") then add a second loop beside it. So now you have 2 sounds in your arranger (track1) grab the first one and drag behind the other loop. It will automaticlly strectch the length of your song. Just repeat this until your song i long enough.......the longer you make the loops the quicker you song will stretch. After you've done this, mute that "dummie track" and use another track to record your guitar or whatever and it will automaticlly record for the whole length of the song. Here is a simple drawing of what I mean hope it helps.
A=loop 1
B=loop 2
- = a space
Track 1: AB then move A past B: -BA then move B past A and repeat: --AB........---BA.......----AB
If you stretch each loop it will go faster.
Track1: AAAABBBB.............----BBBBAAAA.........--------AAAABBBB...........------------BBBBAAAA
Hope this didn't confuse you, I do that sometimes.
HI,
An other method :
1 - Zoom out : click on minus close to Zoom in order to extend the time scale
2 - Right clic on right side of the upper part of the time scale in order to define the end of the yellow bar defining the reading/recording zone or extent it with the mouse.
Regards
When in the software, make sure that the length of the song (look above the arranger area where you record and place sounds) is stretched longer than 16 bars. To stretch it, look below the arranger area in the bottom right corner. You should see a minus button, click that. Click on the icon at the top of the arranger area that looks like a piece of paper and drag it to the left.
Another Method:
Record and even though the track shows that it has stopped recording, it still is. After you are done recording, press stop and drag the track out to reveal the rest that was recorded.
