About hard disk recording

Realtime recording to an audio track can be performed using Overwrite Record-
ing, Auto Punch-In Recording, or Manual Punch-In Recording. Unlike when
recording to a MIDI track, Overwrite Recording overwrites only the measures
that were recorded.
As when recording to a MIDI track, recording to an audio track creates “events”
(audio events) which can be edited in detail using the Audio Event Edit func-
tions. Since individual audio events can be edited, you can edit (move, delete,
copy, etc.) even small segments of sound such as orchestra hits.
In addition, the mixer allows you to adjust the pan, volume, etc. for each audio
track, and to record these changes so that they will be faithfully reproduced
when the data is played back.
