4 You want to add a harmony chorus,
but there’s no more tracks left!
No problem! If you've already used all 4 tracks,
you can record on top of a previously recorded
track.
See “Mix Write Recording” (page 27) for details.
5 You realize that a certain drum fill
would sound better in a different
place.
You can move, copy, or delete part of the song.
For example, if the first and second chorus were
reversed, they can easily be switched.
See “Editing Part of a Song (Track Edit)” (page
31) for details.
