Track Capture And Swap; Capturing A Track - Zoom MRS-1608 Operation Manual

Track capture and swap

You can capture the audio data of any track and
temporarily store them on the hard disk. Later you can
swap the captured data with the current data of the track.
This lets you save the state of a track before an editing
operation. If the result of the operation is not as desired,
you can then easily restore the track to its previous state.
