Overview of recording in Logic Pro for Mac

In Logic Pro for Mac, you have many powerful options for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, electric instruments, and software instruments. When recording either audio or MIDI, you can choose to record one track at a time, record multiple tracks at once (called multitrack recording), replace audio or MIDI recordings, or record multiple performances over the same section of a track, called take recording.

Once you have created your audio takes, you can then comp your audio recordings. This process involves selecting the best parts from the different performances and piecing them together into a single, master composite take. You can also punch in and out of audio recordings to overwrite a portion of a previously recorded track.

With software instruments, you can record the MIDI parts using real-time recording techniques, or you can use step input recording techniques, which allow you to insert MIDI notes when not recording in real time. And there are several advanced recording techniques available that can help speed up your workflow.
