•In the following situations a popup window will ask whether you want to save the current song: when you load an existing song from the hard disk, when you create a new song, or when you shut-down the AW2400.

•We recommend that you frequently save the song you are working on or enable the Auto Save function (→ p. 211) as a safeguard against accidents such as the AW2400’s power cable being accidentally disconnected.
