Step 4: Mixing

When you have finished recording all tracks, you can use the
built-in mixer to adjust parameters such as volume level, EQ
(equalizer), and panning (stereo left/right positioning) to
create a pair of stereo tracks.

rhythm section
In order to keep unwanted signals from being included in the
mix, you should turn off the input and the guide rhythm from
the rhythm section.

4.2 Adjusting volume, panning,
and EQ
Adjust the volume, panning, and equalization for each track
by controlling the track parameters of the built-in mixer.
