pop-up window appears explaining the restored maximum
limit to the number of takes.
When Folder mode is selected, the number of files created is •
large. For this reason, the number of tracks that can be recorded
is greatly reduced. (See “Recording operation limitations” on
page 29.)
During recording, you can press the REC key to start recording a
•
new take. This function can be used 4 seconds after beginning
recording in Poly and Subfolder modes, but in Folder mode, you
might have to wait more than 4 seconds.

An “audio over” occurs when the level exceeds the maximum level
(full scale) minus the value set by the user. (In the example above,
this would be when the level exceeds the maximum level minus 0.20
dB.)
