Recording Setup (Audio Track)
Bit Depth
You can choose to record either 16-bit or 24-bit data. 24-bit
yields higher fidelity, but uses more space on drive.
Automation Only
Normally you will record with this unchecked. Both audio
track automation events and audio events will be recorded.
If this is checked, only audio track automation events will be
recorded. Use this setting if you want to record automation
after recording.
Auto Input
This parameter controls monitoring during recording. It
automatically switches all record-enabled tracks between
monitoring the record input and the track playback,
according to whether or not recording is active.
This lets you listen to audio you've already recorded when
punching in, and also means that you don't have to disable
track record-enables in order to listen to playback.
This applies only to record-enabled tracks. If Multi REC is
off, this is the REC Track (as selected in the Track Select
menu). If Multi REC is on, this means to all tracks whose
Play/Rec/Mute button is set to Rec.
Normally, Auto Input should be enabled (checked). When
enabled, record enabled tracks will be monitored as follows:
• When stopped, the monitor carries the input signal.
• When playing but not recording, the monitor carries the
track playback.
• When recording, the monitor carries the input signal.
For audio tracks which are not record-enabled, you'll always
be monitoring the track playback.

If this is unchecked, the L/R (post-TFX) and bus line
signal(s) specified by REC Source will be sent from the L/R
jacks and the headphone jack as specified by the Audio Input
Bus Select and post-IFX Bus Sel. settings. This is the
normal state.
Normally you will leave this unchecked, and Check this if
you want to monitor only the sound that's being recorded.
Only the signal of the bus line specified by REC Source will
be output to the L/R jacks and the headphone jack. When
using Multi REC, you'll hear the sound from the REC
Source buses whose Play/Rec/Mute setting is set to REC.

Note: If the REC Source is L/R, this setting is ignored; the
L/R (post-TFX) signal is output from the L/R jacks and the
headphone jack.
Rehearsal
Check this if you want to rehearse before actually recording
on an audio track. (recording will not actually occur).
Audio Track Recording Level
This indicates the input level to the audio track selected for
Track Select (when using single-track recording), or the
input level to the audio tracks whose Play/Rec/Mute setting
is REC (when using multi-track recording: maximum 4
tracks).
Recording Level 1, 2, 3, 4
Level Meter 1, 2, 3, 4
This adjusts the final-stage signal level of each REC Source
being recorded to the audio tracks.
The upper part of the level meter/slider shows the
corresponding audio track number.
If you're using single track recording, Recording Level 1
and Level Meter 1 both apply.
If you're using multi-track recording, the settings for tracks
whose Mute/Rec button is REC will be valid.
When using single-track recording, the level meter will show
the recording level if you set "Track Select" to Audio Track.
When using multi-track recording, press the SEQUENCER
REC button to enter record-standby mode, and the level
meter will show the recording level.
Note: The settings up to this point are the same as if you
executed the page menu command Auto HDR/Sampling
Setup with the HDR (Audio Track Recording) setting, to
make the setup automatically. Audio Input, REC Source,
Track Select, and Overwrite are set automatically. For
more information, see "Auto HDR/Sampling Setup" on
page 527 of the PG.

If you're using the USB inputs, adjust the output level of
your external audio source.
If you're sampling external audio through the internal
