"Recording" versus "Overdubbing"
In this manual, we refer to the act of recording to an empty
track for the first time as "recording. "
Any subsequent recordings that are made, which are added on
top of the existing recording, we refer to as "overdubbing. "
Play screen
The screen that appears after you turn
on the power is called the "Play screen. "
