Loop playback

Using the A/B Loop function enables you to play back or record a part between Points A and B repeatedly. This is great for composing over tracks, and practicing your parts.

5.Press the A/B LOOP button again to turn the A/B Loop function off.

Finalizing procedure

Note: The track files are BWF (Broadcast Wave Format), so they are time stamped. You only need to perform the finalizing procedure if your DAW does not support BWF, or for when you want to burn a CD.

1.Access the FINALIZE page, then use the plus/minus controller button to select one of the following options: MATERIAL, 2MIX and BOTH. Choose BOTH for this example.

3. A confirmation message will appear. Press the right cursor controller button to execute the finalize operation.

4. You can cancel the finalize operation by pressing the stop button during the finalizing process.

5. The unit will display “COMPLETE” when the operation is finished.

Exporting the SOS .Wav files to your computer, to import into your DAW

1.The SOS is unique, in that it can export all the overdubbed track data as separate .Wav files. To move these files from the SOS to your computer you will need a media card reader. Once the card, with the SOS data, is in your media reader, you can upload the data to your computer by selecting and dragging the files across.

2. Next, you will want to import these .Wav files into a session in your DAW. Upon import, all the files will be lined up for proper playback, as separate tracks. This makes it simple and easy, no need for converting or down time. The SOS is all about quick and easy recording, so you can apply the majority of your focus on your creativity.
