How would you record to multiple playlists, one take at a time?

• A. One at a time: Record arm the track > select playlists view > record the take > drag and drop the take to the empty playlist lane
• B. Arm track, enable loop, punch in/out repeatedly
• C. Use the global record to overwrite all playlists
• D. Copy and paste takes between playlists

Answer: (A)

Recording to multiple playlists relies on using separate playlists for a track, so each new take is kept in its own lane. Arm the track to record and switch the track view to Playlists. As you record, the take captures on the current playlist; when you’re done, you can drag that take to an empty playlist lane to create a new take on that playlist. This lets you build a set of distinct takes you can audition and comp from later, one take per playlist. The other approaches don’t fit the workflow. Looping and punching will primarily overwrite or extend the same playlist rather than creating new ones for each take. A global record doesn’t exist to overwrite all playlists at once. Copying and pasting between playlists adds extra manual steps and isn’t the intended record-one-take-at-a-time process.
