The steps
Read them here, or press Play along and the studio will walk you through them.
Press Record
Open the Loops tab and press Record. You'll get a three-beat count-in, so you have time to get your hands ready.
Leave the Clicker on — the metronome keeps you in time and snaps your loop to the grid.
Play 2–4 bars
With the camera: Play a short progression with your hands — try I, V, IV, I. Keep going for two to four bars.
Without a camera: Click through a short progression — try I, V, IV, I. Keep going for two to four bars.
Press Stop
Press the Record button again to stop. Your take is quantised to the beat grid automatically.
Name your loop
Type a name (or keep the suggestion) and press Enter or Save. It's stored in this tab's loop library.
Play it back
Press Play loop. Your recording plays on its own voice, so you can play new chords over the top.
