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,
S/P DIF, USB, 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 disk. 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 control surface mixer to adjust the
pan and volume etc. of the audio tracks, and record
these operations as automation events so that the

When recording audio tracks, the MIDI Clock must
be set to Internal. For more information, see "MIDI
Clock (MIDI Clock Source)" on page 772 of the
Parameter Guide.
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 disk 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 disk. If only the WAVE file is
left on the disk, this will occupy disk capacity for no
purpose; we recommend that you execute "Delete
Unused WAV Files" to free up any such wasted
space.
