holding the Stop (8) button to use the return to

zero (RTZ) function to jump to the beginning of the

When using a menu, if you make a mistake

pressing a button and the wrong screen appears,

press the HOME button to return to the Home

From recording to mastering

Next, we will make a multitrack recording.
In the following example, we will use a guitar to

record a rhythm guitar part on track 1 and a lead

guitar part on track 2. Then, we will use the built-in

mic to record singing on track 3. Finally, we will mix

the tracks down to a stereo track.
We assume that you have already followed the

instructions in the previous “Playback and mixing”

section and that you have already connected

headphones and installed an SD card.

TIP

This example uses the built-in mic for recording

vocals, but you could also connect an external mic

to an INPUT A/B connector on the back of the unit

and record with it instead.
