Recording
To record, open the recording app shown on the LAUNCHER screen that suits the type of recording (see “Recording apps” on
page 15).
After launching the recording app, the input levels of each track and their mix must also be set in order to conduct recording at
suitable levels.
This unit has a
Recording Guide function
designed to prevent users from accidentally skipping important steps or doing them
out of order. This function can only be used with the MANUAL app. (When shipped new the
Recording Guide
function is on by
default.)
After the
MANUAL
app is launched, operation procedures will be shown. Follow their instructions to make adjustments.
When the
Recording Guide
function is active, setting screens open in the following order, enabling settings to be made in the
correct sequence.
