Backing Track Gain
Track gain allows you to adjust the gain of a par-
ticular Backing Track on a per-Preset basis.
Please note that the first place you should go to
adjust the overall level of your Backing Tracks is
the MIX page(s). There is a TRACK control in the
Main and Headphone mix screens.

Once you have got the general balance between
your Vocal, Guitar, Loop, MET, Aux and Track
levels, you can use the Track Gain parameter to
tweak an individual track to blend optimally in a
particular Preset.
If you associate a Backing Track with multiple
presets, you’ll need to adjust the Track Gain pa-
rameter in each one.
