"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I am speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. All right so we've created our drum track and I've looped it up here a couple of times. The next thing I am going to want to do is create a new track. To do that all you have to do is click the little plus i-con down here in the bottom left. It is going to ask you if you want to create a software instrument or real instrument. We have been dealing with software instrument up until now so I am going to go ahead and create that. We will get into real instruments in a second. It is going to bring up the track information and here you can choose your instruments you want for the next track. You can preview it by heading your keyboard. That is the default, the grand piano and let's see what Smokey Club sounds like. Okay, go ahead and choose that. Entry chord, we will go ahead and do the same as we did before and make sure our track is armed and you can go ahead and turn off the metronome now because you will be able to hear the drums along with it and when you are ready, go ahead and click record and record your track. Whenever you are done, just click the play button like before and you can see it created our track up here. You can click and drag the region around and go back and you can play it to listen to it. We've recorded our second track there. If you want to, you can create a new track and click on real instrument. What this does is it is going to record what you have on your input. It is just going to record actual analog sound. So if you arm that and click record, testing, testing, testing. You can see it just recorded my voice here and you can add some affects and other different things over here to the analog track. Click on affects and double filter and go ahead and mute the middle track and go back and play this. So that is how you create and record multiple tracks."
