record operation using the Alesis Fusion.
4. Quantizing Track Data
Dive into advanced track processes by walking through the steps of selecting
tracks, track locations, then initiating and executing commands to correct
note timing of previously recorded performances.
5. Looping Songs and Independent
Tracks
In this video Paul explains the steps to set up portions of both a song
and tracks to loop. This is very helpful when first sketching a song
to build up a groove. You'll also use this to record drum portions in
multiple passes of a selected area.
6. Processing Additional Track
Edits
Paul explains some other common track edits such as cut, copy, and paste,
used for arranging notes and sections of measures in a song.
7. Insert Effects Parameters
In this tutorial you'll learn how to add and adjust insert effects that
can be routed from any of the given tracks in a song. This will add
dimension and characteristics to your sounds used in a song.
8. Using Bus Effects (Master Effects)
Learn how to use the Fusion's Bus effects (sometimes referred to as
system or master effects) to add spatial effects that every track can
use in a song set up.
9. Song Naming and Saving
It's easy to organize and save your work using the Fusion. Paul explains
file extensions along with how to name and save your files in the Fusion's
store mode.

effects sends and more. You'll learn how to use the Fusion's powerful
realtime control knobs to quickly perform these type of edits.
11. Recording Audio Tracks
In this video Paul narrates in detail the settings and steps used to
accurately record real audio via the rear panel. This ability to act
as an 8 track hard disk recorder is one of the Fusion's most powerful
features.
12. Program Parameter Adjustments
Take advantage of the Fusion's parameter adjustments which allow you
to tweak a used program independently from it's settings in program
mode. This is very useful for tailoring a sound to fit your particular
songs needs, without changing the actual program's sound as it is stored
in program mode.

to 4 arpeggios in song mode. You'll also learn the many parameters involved
