# Delay Before Recording

Delay Before Recording window

The Delay Before Recording window offers several options that can be useful when you're recording by yourself. It allows you to walk to your guitar, microphone, etc., before recording begins. There are two ways to do this:

1. Wait: The transport waits for a specified number of seconds to pass.
2. Wait for MIDI In message: The transport waits for a MIDI note or controller message on a MIDI In Device. This works for audio recording as well. If you have a MIDI sustain pedal, you can use it to start the transport. Any channel on the MIDI In Device can be used.

Note: these settings are used only if there is at least one track in record mode.
