If you intend to work with MIDI or Instrument tracks in your project, or if the audio you’re working with is bar and beat-oriented, you can record your tracks while listening to a click. This ensures that recorded material, both MIDI and audio, aligns with the project’s bar and beat boundaries.
When your track material lines up with the beats, you can take advantage of some very useful editing functions, such as quantizing MIDI and audio events or clips, quantizing individual MIDI notes, and copying and pasting measures and song sections in Grid mode.
*Material that is recorded without listening to a click can still be aligned to bar and beat boundaries by using the Identify Beat command to determine the tempo (see “Identify Beat Command” on page 468).
