(Loop Merge)

You can free up additional parts by combining several previously recorded
parts into a single part. This is called

loop merge

* Adjust the desired volume balance (p. 35) among the parts before you perform Loop Merge.

It is not possible to readjust the volume balance once you’ve performed Loop Merge.

sound you hear during loop merge, but will not be reflected by the part after loop merge.
