4 - Managing Songs
This recorder treats each recording data group as one song and
manages data by song.
For one song, WAV files are saved for 22 tracks and a stereo
master file.
To record or produce music, a song that has already been
created needs to be loaded or a new song needs to be created.
This chapter describes functions that range from basic
operations such as procedures for loading songs and creating
new songs to various song management functions.
