tIpS.
• The keyboard shortcut ctrl-n turns recording
on and off
• You can load a recording without saving it
using the short cut keys shift left arrow to
deck 1 or shift right arrow to deck 2.
• If the Virtual Deck is set to int mode and
is unloaded, the input record level is sent to
the virtual deck’s higher resolution stereo
meters. e.g., if you’re recording from input
2, set the right virtual deck to int, eject the
track if there is one loaded, and the virtual
deck’s meters will show the signal coming
into input 2.
note: any recordings over 3 hours are
automatically split into individual files.
