The previous technique allows you to define the playback region with a time selection and sets the punch-in and punch-out points in 
the recording to the event boundaries. When you click the Record button, playback begins at the beginning of the time selection. The 
event is then filled with the newly recorded material. The audio file that is recorded to your hard disk is the full duration of the time 
selection. The event only contains a portion of the full recorded performance and can therefore be trimmed (both shorter and longer) 
and repositioned within the event. 

Time selection bar ­
defines the recorded 
audio file’s duration.

When you use an input bus to record audio, you can include input bus effects with the recorded signal.

For example, imagine that you need to record an electric guitar with an amplifier-modeling plug-in.

Scenario 1: Plug your guitar into your sound card's instrument input and choose that input as your recording input:

In this scenario, you could then add your amplifier-modeling plug-in as a track effect and record with input monitoring on. Your guitar
would be recorded directly (without the plug-in), and the plug-in would be processed each time you play or render your project. This
method allows you to adjust the plug-in settings as you work on your project.

Scenario 2: Set up an input bus that uses your amplifier-modeling plug-in as an insert effect, and choose that input bus as your
recording input:

In this scenario, your amplifier-modeling plug-in is cooked into the recorded signal. This method allows you to record your processed
signal but doesn't allow you to change your amplifier settings without rerecording the guitar part.

Add an input bus to your project. For more information, see 

Set up your input bus: 

Click the Add New Insert FX button 

 in the Insert FX control region of the input bus channel strip to add plug-ins to 

your input bus. For more information about input bus channel strips, see 

. 

In the I/O control region of the input bus channel strip, click the Input Source button and choose the sound card input you 
want to record. 

Click the Output button in the I/O control region of the input bus channel strip and choose Off. The bus output is left off so we 
can monitor the input through the track. 

Set your track to record from your input bus: 

Click the Record Input button on the track header, choose Input Busses from the menu, and choose your input bus. 

Click the Record Input button and choose Input Monitor Mode: On or Input Monitor Mode: Auto so you can hear your input 
signal during recording. 

•When Auto

 is selected, you will hear the input monitor signal when playback is stopped and during recording. If you're 

recording into selected events, you'll hear the input monitor signal only when the cursor passes over the selected events. 

•When On

 is selected, the behavior is similar to Auto mode, but you will always hear the input monitor during recording 

— monitoring is not toggled on and off when recording into a selected event. 

Position the cursor where you want to start recording.
