RECORDING - 11
When recording, you will see this screen:
As you are recording, so the FREE ON DISK field 'counts down' as disk space is used up.
In the event of a mishap, you can abort the recording by pressing SHIFT and the red REC
key simultaneously. This will stop the recording process and delete it from disk, thereby
saving disk space. It also deletes it from the library you may be recording into thereby
preventing the build up of unwanted recordings.
