Practice ModeThese days many instruments are software based. This isn't only true for software MIDI instruments like the Sampler or VSTi plugins, but for guitar amp simulators like the Guitar Amp effect as well. Practice Mode lets you use these instruments without actually recording them, so you can practice or just try things. MIDI instrumentsIf a MIDI instrument's window is visible at the time the transport is started the instrument will work if neither the track's Play button nor the Rec button are "on".Audio effectsSimilarly, an audio track's effects can be used if one of the effect windows is visible at the time the transport is started and neither the track's Play button nor the Rec button are "on".Obviously, Soft Monitoring should be used in order for this to work.An audio tracks can not be in practice mode if there are any recording audio tracks. Practicing while the transport is stoppedPractice Mode also works while the transport is stopped, regardless of the track's Play/Rec buttons. Alternatively you can switch on a track's Rec button, in this case there's no need for any effect or instrument window to be visible. This method also allows for running multiple tracks. In case of audio tracks the usual channel assignment rules apply. | ||
