Recording

Record your guitar or bass performance, or
the sound from an audio player connected
to the AUX IN jack.
• Auto recording (p. 11) lets you start recording the
moment you begin performing.
• You can also record along with rhythm sounds (p. 12).
Refer to"Saving a Phrase for One-Shot Playback" (p. 10).
"Recording" versus "Overdubbing"
In this manual, we refer to the act of recording to an empty
phrase for the fi rst time as "recording. " Any subsequent
recordings that are made, which are added on top of the
existing recording, we refer to as "overdubbing. "
