Hi everyone, I'm doing some recording of me playing the violin, and what I'd like to do is cycle the recording time so that each new pass of a specific section of the song deletes the previous audio I would have just recorded. In other words, I want to play and record a passage over and over, and I want Logic to automatically delete the previous bad copy that would have been just recorded, let me re-record over and over and over again until I get it right. For now I do this all manually by recording then stopping and deleting, going back to the starting point, recording again, stopping, repeat, repeat, repeat. You get the idea :) I've tried every combination of Recording Preferences under the Song Preferences, but I can't seem to get it. Any advice on how to save the steps? Thanks!

Why don't you just cycle record. When you get the take you like, stop. At the end of the day, just optimize your audio, deleting any unused audio, and giving you just the data you want. Also, when you delete after recording a pass, hit "delete" rather then "Keep" It's not perfect, but even if you tried to do this with tape, you would still have to wait for the deck to rewind. I think the optimize thing takes much less time, don't you?
