Setting the guitar as track 1 recording source

The default settings are for the
the recording source for tracks 1 and 3 and for the
channel to be the recording source for tracks
INPUT B
2 and 4.
In "Connecting and setting the input sources" above,
we made a guitar the input source for the
channel and a built-in mic (
for the channel. Therefore, the guitar is
INPUT B
already set to record to tracks 1 and 3 and
ready to record to tracks 2 and 4.
As a result, there is no need to change the input
channel assignments to record the guitar to track 1
in this example. See "Adding another recording (1)"
on page 21 and "Adding another recording (2)" on
page 22 for how to change track recording sources.
