Song Numbers
On the VS-1680, every song is assigned a number. Newly
created songs are given the lowest available number. For
example, if there are five songs on the hard drive, the
next song created will be assigned Song Number 6. If
Song Number Three is deleted, the remaining songs will
be numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. The next new song created
will be assigned Song Number 3.

The Recording and Mixing Process

The recording procedure with the VS-1680 is similar to the process of recording with traditional multitrack recorders. The general
process of recording a song is outlined below.
1. Connect instruments and microphones to the VS-1680.
2. Record the basic rhythm tracks (i.e. drums, bass, etc.).
3. Record the other parts (electric guitars, synthesizers, vocals, etc.) while playing back the basic rhythm tracks.
4. If there are any mistakes in the process, record over the places where they occurred using punch-in and punch out.
