Recording/Playing Back a Song
4. Press [PLAY].
The [REC] and REC TRACK button indicators change
from flashing in red to being continually lit and
recording begins.
[PLAY] lights up.
Only what you are currently playing is recorded to the
new track. The music that is being played back is not
recorded.
* If you use the INPUT LEVEL knob to turn down the volume
of the input source during recording, the sound will be
recorded in the audio track at a low volume, so that noise will
be more apparent when you raise the volume of the audio track
for playback.If you want to lower the sound of the input source
that you are monitoring, lower the volume with the MASTER
fader.
To change the volume of the music being played back, use the
TRACK fader for the respective tracks.
5. When you finish recording, press [STOP].
* You cannot play back sounds recorded for less than one
second.

Some tips for overdubbing
When you record new material while listening to a
recorded performance, your playing may tend to be
buried in the existing performances, making it difficult
for you to play. In this case, you can slightly lower the
faders of the playback tracks, or pan the playback tracks
to left (or right) and the sound you are playing to right
(or left) to make it easier to hear yourself.
