Virtual tracks
This unit has 8 virtual tracks for each track.
Since there are 8 virtual tracks for each track, you can
record multiple takes of lead vocals and improvised solos,
for example, and then choose the best takes afterwards.
After recording, assign an unused virtual track to the
physical track, and then record another take. By repeating
this process, you can use multiple virtual tracks for
different takes.
NOTE
The virtual tracks are mono tracks. When assigning virtual
tracks to a physical track of a stereo pair, you must assign
them separately to the left and right channels.
