Each of the eight playback tracks has its own set of 8 V-Tracks on which you
can record. The track can play back one of its V-Tracks at a time.
In this example, Track 1 is set to record
and play back its first V-Track.

V-Tracks
The value of V-Tracks is that they give you lots of elbow room for creativity.
You can use them to try out alternate ideas and/or attempt multiple takes
of your performances. When you’re done recording, you select the best
V-Track—or combine bits and pieces of multiple V-Tracks—for play back.
We’ll explain how to select a V-Track for recording and playback later on.
You combine tracks by “bouncing” them, as described on Page 97 of the
JUNO-Gi Owner’s Manual.
Mono and Stereo Tracks
The tracks in the digital recorder can be used as eight separate mono tracks,
and/or linked in odd-even stereo pairs. Deciding what you want to record in
mono or stereo is a personal decision, but here are some guidelines.
• You’ll want a track to be mono when—you’re recording a vocal, an electric
guitar or bass, a solo instrument, or a single percussion instrument.
• You’ll want to link a pair of tracks in stereo when—you’re recording an
acoustic piano, a live drum kit, or anything else that wants a more
expansive sound. You’ll want to record in stereo when you’re using
stereo effects, and when you bounce tracks, stereo is often a good idea.
The JUNO-Gi Digital Recorder
The JUNO-Gi digital recorder—based on the popular BOSS BR recorders—
allows you to record full-on songs without leaving the JUNO-Gi. With its
eight playback tracks, 64 recording V-Tracks, and GT-class effects, it packs a
surprising amount of power. Let’s have a look and a listen.
Where Do JUNO-Gi Digital Recorder Songs Go?
The JUNO-Gi records your songs—and the tracks they
contain—onto SD memory cards of up to 32 GB in size.
It supports the use of standard SD cards as well as SDHC-
format SD cards. Your JUNO-Gi ships with a 2 GB SD card that
holds the factory demos, and that has enough recording
room to get you started.
If you get serious about recording on the JUNO-Gi, you’ll eventually
want a larger card.
For more information about SD cards and the JUNO-Gi, see Page 15 of
the JUNO-Gi Owner’s Manual.
8 Playback Tracks vs 64 Recording V-Tracks
A song on the JUNO-Gi can have up to eight tracks playing back. When you
record on the JUNO-Gi, though, you have far more tracks on which to record:
64 of them. These tracks are called “V-Tracks,” for “Virtual Tracks.”
