Advanced recording commands

When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can use several advanced commands to speed up the recording process:

  • Record/Record Toggle: Use to stop recording but to continue playback. Use it again to resume recording from the playhead position.

  • Record/Record Repeat: Use to delete the recording, move the playhead back to the recording start position, and start recording again.

  • Discard Recording and Return to Last Play Position: Use to delete the recording and move the playhead back to the last play position. Unlike Record/Record Repeat, you will need to manually begin a new recording, using any Record command.
