Recording the second and later tracks
After completing the first track recording, you can record the next track in turn while playing back
recorded audio files. The preparation for recording is the same as for the first track, and you can
playback on a different track.
NOTE
• When you move a file on a track, confirm that no
files are assigned to the track to be recorded
(“NOT ASSIGN”). If there is an assigned file, that
recording will be overwritten by new recording.
• Recorded audio files on tracks will be overwritten
by new recording. If you rewind the counter to
the top and begin recording again, be aware that
the overwritten previous recording will be lost.
• During playback the file assigned to the track is
played.
NOTE
• If the first and second recordings are on different
tracks, you can skip to Step 7, because you
only need to change the track status and start
recording.
• When you move file tracks, make sure there is
no file assigned to the track where you plan to
record (display says “NOT ASSIGN”). If there are
assigned files, old files will be overwritten and
cannot be retrieved.
• Select tracks using the STATUS KEYS. Orange
lights indicate selectable tracks.
• Read-only files are displayed as <R.0> and
cannot be recorded over if assigned.

HINT
• If you want to use the same track as you recorded
before for the second track recording, you
should transfer the file to another track, and
make the target track empty. Refer to “Preparation
of playback tracks” on P.23.
• You can also swap recorded tracks with
unrecorded tracks.
• This method is useful for creating a second guitar
track using Hi-Z.
Other Uses
HINT
• If you want to record a new file, do not assign any
file to a track.
