It's a click track if you produced tick sounds from the Generate tools, It can be a drum track if you live-recorded you or someone actually playing drums. A generic "backing track" is anything you're playing into your headphones and performing to. The goal of overdubbing is to produce a ne...

on the subway. Noise Removal works in two steps. Step one is the Profile step where you identify a stretch of noise that's typical of what you want to remove. Step two is to actually remove the Profile noise from the show. Every subway I've ever been on the noise is constantly changing as the cars ...

Please note that Mastering is a "suite." A harmonious grouping. It's designed to work from an original reading. Don't add any tools in the middle or leave any out. The tools not only work effectively, but they clean up after each other. For example, the first tool, Filter Curve gets rid of...
