Recording with the internal microphone
Now, let's use the internal microphone for recording. The XR-3 has a built-in non-
directional microphone that allows you to record vocal or acoustic guitar parts easily without
connecting an external microphone.
As an example, we wilt record the acoustic guitar sound to Track 1.
Reset the XR-3 to the initial settings, and follow the procedure below.

the guitar.
