Recording to Other Tracks
(Overdubbing)

holding down [STOP], press the STATUS buttons
for the tracks you want to play back (i.e., that you
want to hear while overdubbing).

2. Select the tracks to which you want to record.
While holding down [REC], press the STATUS
buttons for the tracks to which you want to
record.
The STATUS indicators blink red.
3. Select the sources to record to the tracks. While
holding down the STATUS buttons for the tracks
you want to record to, press the SELECT buttons
for the input channels whose sources you want
assigned to the tracks.
The SELECT indicators blink.
4. Now you are ready for overdubbing. Follow the
Steps of “Recording to the Tracks” (p. 42), to
record and then check the content.
Recording on V-Track 2

8 auxiliary tracks. These subsidiary tracks are referred
to as
V-tracks .

tracks (8 tracks x 8 V-tracks), and each such set is
referred to as a
