Beginning Recording To begin recording: Click the Record button in the Transport window, or press Option-R. If you followed the previous steps in the tutorial, Your First Session with Metro, you set a Countoff of 1 bar (Record/Play under the Setup menu). You’ll see the Counter move forward through 1 bar, which gives you time to ready yourself to record. Play your controller keyboard or MIDI device. Stop recording by clicking the Stop button in the Transport or pressing the Spacebar. Metro records what you just played. The Tracks window Overview changes to show that your new track contains data. Proceed on to Naming Your Track.
