Recording Sound from a Mic or Guitar
Recording audio
1. Press the [REC] button to enter record-standby mode.
The [REC] indicator will blink, and the Audio Rec Standby window appears.
2. Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to each parameter, and turn the VALUE dial or
use [INC] [DEC] to set its value.
For this example we'll make settings for using the mic to record in monaural for a length of four measures.

3. If you're using the mic/guitar/line input, use the rear panel LEVEL knob to adjust the
input level from the external source.
• If you're using DIGITAL IN, this adjustment is not necessary.
• If the volume of the external input is too high, the front panel PEAK indicator will light.
In this case, turn down the LEVEL knob until the PEAK indicator no longer lights.
• If the recording level is too high, the level meter in the screen will indicate "CLIP."
4. Press [PLAY] or [F8 (Start)].
After a one-measure count, recording will begin.
5. Perform on your mic or guitar.
6. When you're finished recording, press [STOP].
The [REC] indicator will go dark, and the recorded sample will be assigned to the track.

You can apply effects such as equalizer or compressor to the audio input. To make settings,
press [F7 (Inp Setting)] and then [F7 (Input Effect)] to access the INPUT EFFECT screen. For
details on the parameters that you can set, refer to "Input Effect Parameters" (p. 186) in
the Owner's Manual.
Value Explanation
SOLO Selects how recording will occur. With the "SOLO" setting, the internal sound
generator will play as usual, but only the external audio input will be recorded.
MIC/GUITAR Selects the input source.
MONO You can select either stereo or mono for the track to be recorded. Choose "STE-
REO" if you want to record in stereo.
1MEAS Specifies the count. For this example, choose "1 MEAS" so that recording will
begin after a one-measure count.
0001 01 000 Indicates the recording-start location. The beginning of the song is "0001 01
000".
ON Specifies whether a record-end location will be specified. Turn this "ON."
0005 01 000 Specifies the record-end location. For this example we're going to record four
measures (i.e., stop at the beginning of the fifth measure), so set this to "0005
01 000." The "Rec Length" below will automatically be set to "0004 00 000"
(four measures).
For details on each parameter, refer to "Audio Rec Standby Parameters" (p. 230) in
