6 - 4 Recording with the MANUAL app

This is the basic app of the unit. This enables multitrack recording of up to 4 channels.

Recording guide function (MANUAL app only)

To record, open the recording app shown on the LAUNCHER screen that
suits the type of recording (see "App overview" on page 9).
After launching the recording app, the input levels of each track and
their mix must also be set in order to record at suitable levels.
This unit has a recording guide function designed to prevent users from
accidentally skipping important steps or doing them out of order. This
function can only be used with the MANUAL app. (When shipped new
the recording guide is on by default.)
After the MANUAL app is launched, operation procedures will be shown.
Follow their instructions to make adjustments.
When the recording guide is active, setting screens open for the setting
procedure below, enabling settings to be made in the correct sequence.
