Selecting stereo tracks for recording

If INPUT is set to “KEYBOARD”, “LINE” or “USB”

Since the input is stereo, this will normally be stereo recording
using two tracks. If you press the TRACK [1] or [2] button,
recording will take place in stereo on tracks 1 and 2. Similarly
if you press the [3] or [4] button, recording will take place in
stereo on tracks 3 and 4.
However if you want to mix the sound from the L-channel and
R-channel of the input and record it on track 1, press the TRACK
[1] button once again from the state in which tracks 1 and 2 are
selected. Track 1 will be selected as the recording destination.
You can use the same operation to specify a di erent track as
the recording destination.

If INPUT is set to “GUITAR” or “MIC”

If you want to record in stereo so that the insert e ects will
sound better, you can simultaneously press the TRACK [1] and
[2] buttons or [3] and [4] buttons to specify stereo recording
using two tracks.
Stereo link (p. 89) will be enabled (or disabled) for the pair of
tracks you pressed simultaneously.
