for each channel you want to record.
Once all the channels you wish to record have been armed, touch (Record Button) to begin recording. Touch the (Stop) button to end recording.
NOTE:
User buttons may be assigned to Arm / Disarm and select Track or Input as the source for all channels at once.
IMPORTANT:
Do not unplug your TouchMix until you have stopped recording! If you do, your recorded tracks will not be usable. You
must end the Session by touching the STOP button on the transport control. Doing so writes a header file that is needed in order to
play back the recording or import it into a DAW.
The TouchMix mixers permit over-dubs, however only the last recorded track will play back on the mixer. Earlier passes are left on the drive and
may be imported into a DAW.
