How-to guides

Task-focused recipes for the user-facing app. Each solves one real problem and assumes you've done Your first track.

Recording and takes

• Record MIDI and audio — arm, record, punch, loop-record.
• Comp, promote, and clean up takes — pick the best of several loop-recorded passes.

Arranging and mixing

• Arrange with the Session view — the clip-launch grid, and moving a jam into the song.
• Add insert effects and balance a mix — the mixer, effect chains, and levels.
• Route to a bus and set up a shared reverb send — aux sends and submix groups.
• Automate a parameter — keyframes, curves, and when to use an LFO or MIDI-learn instead.

Generating content

• Generate a clip's notes from code — script a clip's notes in Common Lisp or Python, then generate or live-drive them.

Exporting and sharing

• Export the mix, a range, a track, or stems — offline audio bounces from the File menu.
• Browse content and pin favorites — the browser sidebar.
• Version your project with git — history, branches, and sharing.
