Other techniques for recording MIDI

While merging might well be the way you want to record MIDI most often, there are other ways to do it that in specific situations you may prefer:

• Recording MIDI with Replace
• Recording MIDI with Cycle and Merge
• Recording MIDI with Cycle and Create Tracks
• Recording MIDI with Cycle and Take Folders

We will also discuss recording MIDI CCs, such as modwheel and expression

Recording MIDI with Replace

Replace means that we will replace material with existing material when we record again.

If in the control bar, click on the X button, which turns orange, and now you are in Replace mode. But here are a number of ways it can behave, depending on what you choose in Recording Preferences:

• Region Erase: Erases MIDI regions from the Tracks area from the start of the recording until the end of the recording, even if nothing is played.
• Region Punch: Erases MIDI regions only where MIDI events have been recorded.
