NOTE
● When you move files on tracks, confirm that
tracks to be recorded on are set to "New
Take" so that no files are assigned to them.
● If there is a file assigned to a track, that
recording will be overwritten by new
recording.
● When the REC MODE is set to Overwrite,
the recorded audio file will be overwritten
on the track. If you return to the beginning
of the song and record, the previous
recording will be overwritten, so be careful.
When a track is ready to PLAY, the file on it
will be played back.
