Recording/Playing Back a Song

4.Press [PLAY].

The [REC] and REC TRACK button indicators change from flashing in red to being continually lit and recording begins.

[PLAY] lights up.

Only what you are currently playing is recorded to the new track. The music that is being played back is not recorded.

*If you use the INPUT LEVEL knob to turn down the volume of the input source during recording, the sound will be recorded in the audio track at a low volume, so that noise will be more apparent when you raise the volume of the audio track for playback.If you want to lower the sound of the input source that you are monitoring, lower the volume with the MASTER fader.

To change the volume of the music being played back, use the TRACK fader for the respective tracks.

5.When you finish recording, press [STOP].

*You cannot play back sounds recorded for less than one second.

Some tips for overdubbing

When you record new material while listening to a recorded performance, your playing may tend to be buried in the existing performances, making it difficult for you to play. In this case, you can slightly lower the faders of the playback tracks, or pan the playback tracks to left (or right) and the sound you are playing to right (or left) to make it easier to hear yourself.
