● When overwriting, recording will be at the
bit rate of the original file. For example, you
cannot overwrite a file recorded at 16-bit
with a 24-bit file.
● Settings are stored separately for each
project.
● The default value is 16bit.
● If you record at 44.1kHz/24bit, 48kHz/16bit
or 48kHz/24bit formats, you will have to
convert files to 44.1kHz/16bit to create an
audio CD.

Setting the recording mode

PROJECT > REC > REC MODE
When recording, you can either overwrite
the previous recording or keep it and
create a new recording.
This is convenient for recording band
performances and drums, for example,
when you want to record multiple takes.
