disk.
With this disk you can record up to approximately 200 hours
or more in LV2 mode (in terms of mono tracks).
What are V-Tracks?
Each track consists of eight virtual tracks, and you can
choose any one of these tracks for recording or playback.
This means that you can record to up to a maximum of
80 tracks, and then select any ten of them to play back.
These virtual tracks that make up the actual tracks are
called "V-Tracks."
