MIX: Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally, you will
record using this method. If a performance has already been
recorded on the recording-destination track, your newly
recorded performance will be added to the existing performance
without erasing it. By using this in conjunction with Loop-
recording, you can record repeatedly over a specified area
without erasing the previously recorded performance. For
example, this is a convenient way to record a drum performance
one instrument at a time; bass drum → snare drum → hi-hat, etc.

REPLACE: Replace-recording will be carried out. If a
performance has already been recorded on the recording-
destination track, it will be erased as you record your new
performance. Use this when you want to re-record.
