Audio recording overview

• There are sixteen audio tracks. They allow 16- or 24-bit
linear PCM recording with a maximum time of 80
minutes.
• Automation data (volume, pan, EQ, send 1/2) can be
recorded for each track.
• Up to sixteen tracks can be played back simultaneously,
and up to four tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
• The Stereo Pair function lets you assign two tracks as a
pair for recording, control, and editing.
• You can choose from a broad range of internal buses as
the recording source; Audio Input 1–2, S/P DIF, USB,
REC Bus 1–4, the main L/R outputs, or individual
outputs 1–4 (yes, you can directly record from the
outputs, all in the digital domain). You can also route the
signal very flexibly, for example by inserting effects into
external audio sources and recording the result.
• When you record, an audio event and region data are
created and assigned to the track. The region data
contains a link to the WAVE file (audio data) that's
recorded on the disk. You can edit in a variety of ways,
for example by changing the location of the audio event,
or by editing/replacing the region data or WAVE file.
• Auto or manual punch-in/out are provided.
• The Rehearsal function lets you practice a punch-in/out
without actually recording.
• You can use the control surface mixer to adjust the pan
and volume etc. of the audio tracks, and record these
operations as automation events so that the pan and
volume changes will be reproduced during playback.

When recording audio tracks, the MIDI Clock must be
set to Internal. For more information, see "MIDI Clock
(MIDI Clock Source)" on page 773 of the Parameter
Guide.
Audio events and regions in an audio
track
When you record on an audio track, the actual audio data is
recorded directly on the internal drive as a WAVE file. At
this time, a "region" is also created; this contains
information specifying what portion of that WAVE file is to
be actually played back. In addition, an "audio event" which
assigns that region is created; this specifies the location in
the song at which the audio will play.
When playback reaches a point in the song where an audio
event is located, the WAVE file on the disk will be played as
specified by the audio event and the region. In other words,
the audio will not play if either the audio event, the region,
or the WAVE file are missing.
Please note that audio events and regions can be deleted
by audio event editing or region editing, and can also be
easily lost if you turn off the power before saving to the
disk. If only the WAVE file is left on the disk, this will
occupy disk capacity for no purpose; we recommend that
you execute "Delete Unused WAV Files" to free up any
such wasted space.
