Even when your disk has ample free space, one song can use up all the available events, in which case no more data can be recorded to the song.

The remaining number of Events can be saved with the following procedures. Please use the most appropriate procedure for your situation.

Execute Song Store (p. 33)

Use Execute Song Store if the UNDO indicator is lit. Events served for Redo will be released. But please note that you cannot cancel, or redo, the last Undo you once execute this operation.

Execute Song Optimize (p. 218)

Execute Song Optimize if you have done a lot of punch-in recording. Events used for now-unnecessary audio data will be released. But please note that you lose all but one level of Undo after you Optimize.

Erase AutoMix data (p. 138)

If you have recorded AutoMix data, erase unnecessary data. Events used for unnecessary AutoMix data will be released.
