7 − Recorder

virtual tracks that contain the bass takes to three physi-
cal tracks and then use the faders and

MUTE/SOLO

keys to listen to each of them in turn (for simplicity,
these illustrations show only the first eight tracks).

Then pick the one that fits best, and you can re-use the
other two unused virtual tracks with new virtual tracks—
keep the alternative takes for the future if you change your
mind later on.

Alternatively, if you want to assemble a track for the whole
song, you could assign the three different takes of the part
to three different active tracks and use the track editing
functions to copy and paste the good parts of each track to
make a perfect whole. Then use the two non-perfect tracks
with other virtual tracks for new parts.

In this case, you can also reassign the physical tracks of
unused virtual tracks to other virtual tracks.

NOTE

Of course, virtual tracks take up disk space, even
when you are not using them. If you really do not
need a virtual track, you should clean it out to save
disk space (see “CLEAN OUT” on page 63).
