Using V-Takes; Switching V-Takes - Zoom MRS-1044 Operation Manual

Using V-takes

Each track 1 – 10 of the recorder contains ten virtual
tracks, called "V-takes." For each track, you can select one
take, which will be used for recording and playback. For
example, you can switch V-takes as you record multiple
vocal or guitar solos on the same track, and later compare
them and select the best V-take.

Switching V-takes

Here's how to switch the V-take used by each track 1 – 10.

Even for the stereo tracks (tracks 7/8 and 9/10) you can
select different V-takes for odd-numbered/even-numbered
tracks.
1.
In the main screen, press the display section [V-
TAKE] key.
The [V-TAKE] key will light, and a screen will appear in
which you can switch the V-take for each track. In the
"TRxx-yy" indication, xx is the track number (1 – 10), and
yy is the V-take number (1 – 10) currently selected for that
track. The name of the V-take is displayed below "TRxx-
yy."
The level meter display area will show dots as
lit/blinking/dark to indicate the V-take currently selected
for each track, and the V-takes that have already been
recorded.
