Recording and editing vocals in BandLab

Demo summary
The user records several vocal takes over a beat, demonstrates how to cut unwanted parts of a clip, and uses the 'shift d' shortcut to duplicate tracks.
Step-by-step
- Record a vocal take over the beat
- Listen back to the recorded take to identify unwanted sections
- Click on the specific part of the audio clip you want to edit
- Drag the ends of the audio clip to trim or 'pull back' unwanted parts
- Record a new take over the existing section to replace it
Options
- Record over existing parts of a clip
- Shift the position of audio clips on the timeline
Tips
- Record multiple takes to find the one that sounds 'hard' or fits the beat best
- Be honest with yourself about the quality of a take and don't be afraid to switch it up if it feels 'ass'
