Chapter 4 Recording Operations

Loop Recording

You can play back a specific section of a song over and over again, and use the Auto Punch In feature to record many quick takes. This is called “loop recording.” This can be convenient when you want to rehearse a section of the song, or record a number of takes of a solo, and compare the different takes.
