3. Turn the volume down to -12 or lower.
4. Create a vocal track. Click the plus sign top left and select the mic icon for VOICE.
5. Make sure the track is selected and hit Command-D to duplicate as many tracks as you need.
6. Give each track a name or number.
7. Record several takes and then audition each section to determine the most accurate recording. Re-record any portion that is not acceptable in terms of notes, rhythm, diction, intonation, phrasing and style.

9. To split a clip, highlight the clip and hit Command-T. Highlight the clip you want to discard and hit delete.
