Audio recording overview

• There are sixteen audio tracks. They allow 16- or 24-bit
linear PCM recording with a maximum time of
80 minutes.
• Automation data (volume, pan, EQ, send 1/2) can be
recorded for each track.
• Up to sixteen tracks can be played back simultaneously,
and up to four tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
• The Stereo Pair function lets you assign two tracks as a
pair for recording, control, and editing.
• You can choose from a broad range of internal buses as
the recording source; Audio Input 1–2, USB 1–2, REC
Bus 1–4, the main L/R outputs, or individual outputs 1–4
(yes, you can directly record from the outputs, all in the
digital domain). You can also route the signal very
flexibly, for example by inserting effects into external
audio sources and recording the result.
• When you record, an audio event and region data are
created and assigned to the track. The region data contains
a link to the WAVE file (audio data) that's recorded on
the internal drive. You can edit in a variety of ways, for
example by changing the location of the audio event, or
by editing/replacing the region data or WAVE file.
• Auto or manual punch-in/out are provided.
• The Rehearsal function lets you practice a punch-in/out
without actually recording.
• You can use the mixer to adjust the pan and volume etc.
of the audio tracks, and record these operations as
automation events so that the pan and volume changes
will be reproduced during playback.

Audio recording Audio recording overview
When recording audio tracks, the MIDI Clock must be
set to Internal. For more information, see "MIDI Clock
(MIDI Clock Source)" on page 653 of the PG.
Audio events and regions in an audio
track
When you record on an audio track, the actual audio data is
recorded directly on the internal drive as a WAVE file. At
this time, a "region" is also created; this contains
information specifying what portion of that WAVE file is to
be actually played back. In addition, an "audio event" which
assigns that region is created; this specifies the location in
the song at which the audio will play.
When playback reaches a point in the song where an audio
event is located, the WAVE file on the internal drive will be
played as specified by the audio event and the region. In
other words, the audio will not play if either the audio event,
the region, or the WAVE file are missing.
Please note that audio events and regions can be deleted
by audio event editing or region editing, and can also be
easily lost if you turn off the power before saving to the
internal drive. If only the WAVE file is left on the internal
drive, this will occupy internal drive capacity for no
purpose; we recommend that you execute "Delete
Unused WAV Files" to free up any such wasted space.
