Dividing Tracks

You can divide a recorded track at any point simply by adding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful when you want to divide recorded material which contains multiple tracks but only one track number (see page 18), or when you want to locate a certain point in the track.

Example: Dividing the second track

1

AAA

 

2

BBB

When you divide a track, the total number of tracks increases by one and all tracks following the divided track are automatically renumbered.
