5 - Song Management

This unit manages data in units called "songs". Ordinarily,
each project should have its own "song" file. The first step
is to load the song that you want to manage (load an
existing song or create a new song).
In a song, the audio data for the recorded multitrack
(TRACK 1 to 24) and the master file are saved.
This chapter covers basic operations, including procedures
for loading songs and creating new songs, as well as
explains various song management functions.
