Loop Recording
You can play back a specific section of a song over and over
again, and use the Auto Punch In feature to record many
quick takes. This is called “loop recording.” This can be
convenient when you want to rehearse a section of the song,
or record a number of takes of a solo, and compare the
different takes.
