Once you have selected a template, you can start adding instruments and effects to your project. To do this, simply click on the “Channel Rack” window and select the instrument or effect that you want to add. You can then drag and drop the instrument or effect into the “Playlist” window to create a new pattern.

Recording audio

To master your track, you will need to adjust the overall volume and EQ of the track. You may also want to add a compressor and limiter to your track to improve the sound quality.
