EPITCH FIX button

Position the cursor at this button and press [ENTER] to engage the PITCH FIX mode. Use PITCH FIX to correct the pitch and other properties of a vocal track (→ p. 124).

FMUTE CLEAR button

This button clears the mute status of all tracks.

However depending on the bit depth of the song and on the number of tracks that are enabled for recording, there may be cases in which some tracks cannot be unmuted. If so, tracks will be muted consecutively starting with the last-numbered track.

HINT

•If a track channel is selected as a bounce-source, its assign- ment to the stereo bus will automatically be turned off.

•The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks.

•Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 12 play tracks (→ p. 165), tracks 13–24 are muted and will not play back.

•To switch track muting on/off, move the cursor to a track chan- nel number and press the [ENTER] key.
