Step 12. Saving to your computer
When a recording or editing operation is completed, the

saved on the card can be sent to your computer and saved
(backed up).
If there is only a little space remaining on the card, or if you’ve
finished creating a song, you should save your data on a medium
other than the card, such as the hard disk of your computer.
