tracks (Mute)
During playback, hold down [DELETE/MUTE] and press a
REC TRACK button that is lit in green and orange alternating
or green.
The REC TRACK button will change to blinking in orange or

(8) Overdubbing
(Recording an additional performance
while listening to an existing performance)
The tracks for which the REC TRACK button is lit in green
(or alternately in orange and green) are tracks that already
have data recorded on them.
The process of listening to a previously recorded
performance while you record additional material on
another track is called “overdubbing.” By recording the bass,
guitar, and vocals on different tracks, you can then adjust the
volumes of each instrument with respect to one another,
change the left-right sound balance, exchange data, and
perform other operations.

1. Press [TRACK] to switch between Tracks 1–4 and
Tracks 5–8.
The [TRACK] indicator is lit when Tracks 5–8 are
selected.
2. Press one of REC TRACK [1/5] to [4/8] to select the track
to which to record.
By selecting a different track to record from the track
that you previously recorded, you can record a new part
while listening to the previously recorded part.
The status of each track can be determined from the
indicator on the button.
Off: No recorded data exists on the track.
Green: Recorded data exists on track.
Red: The track is selected for recording.
If a track with existing data is selected for recording, the
indicator will light alternately in orange and green.
* If you choose a track to record that already contains data
(where the REC TRACK button is lit in green), the indicator
lights alternately in orange and green, and the new music
overwrites the previously recorded data.
