Measuring Time In Minutes And Seconds Or Bars And Beats - Avid Pro Tools Bedienungsanleitung

Listen to Your Recording
After you have recorded some audio, you can
play it back for review, editing, and mixing.
To play back a recorded track:
1
Click the track's Record Enable button again to
take it out of Record mode. The Record Enable
button stops flashing red.
2 To start playback, press the Spacebar or click
Play in the Transport.
3 To stop playback, press the Spacebar or click
Stop in the Transport.
Record More Tracks
Simply repeat the same steps to create another
audio track (mono or stereo) and continue re-
cording more tracks. In this way, you can record
additional parts against the tracks you have re-
corded previously. This is a common production
technique for layering different parts to create
an arrangement of a song.

Measuring Time in Minutes
and Seconds or Bars and
Beats
Pro Tools lets you measure time in minutes and
seconds (absolute time), or bars and beats (rela-
tive time). For music production, it is often de-
sirable to measure time in bars and beats. The
timing of beats is relative in that it depends on
the tempo. The timing of bars is relative in that
it depends on the meter.
Pro Tools lets you set tempo and meter changes
using markers in the session Timeline at the top
of the Edit window. These settings scale the rel-
ative time of bars and beats against the absolute
time of minutes and seconds (or samples). This
distinction is referred to in Pro Tools as tick-
based (relative) time versus sample-based (ab-
solute) time, and both audio and MIDI data can
be set to follow either on a track-by-track basis
(for more information, see the Pro Tools Refer-
ence Guide).
