About V-takes

Each audio track and the master track of the recorder contains
ten virtual tracks, called "V-takes". For each track, you can
select one such take, which will be used for recording and
playback. For example, you can switch V-takes as you record
multiple vocal or guitar solos on the same track, and later
compare them and select the best V-take. The illustration
shows the track configuration of the HD8 and HD16.
