record. When it passes the punch-out point it will
go into play again.
NOTE
Press the SHIFT and REC buttons again to disable Auto
Punch mode.
Loop Recording
You can also record while in loop mode. When you record
in loop mode (and non-destructive recording is selected),
a new audio file is written each time the recorder makes
a pass. You might use this feature when trying multiple
successive takes of a guitar solo, for example. To use the
loop recording feature, turn on both Loop Playback and
Auto Punch and press Play. (See previous sections.)
Audio pool
Select the Windows menu Audio Pool... item on the
connected display, or press Ctrl-P on the keyboard to
open the audio pool screen.
The audio pool screen shows all the audio files referenced
by the currently open project and allows the following
operations.
Relink
If an audio file that is referenced by an audio clip cannot
be found, click the name of that audio clip and click the
“Relink” button. The currently missing audio file will be
searched for and relinked automatically. A referenced
audio file can be lost when it has been moved manually
using the File Manager, for example, or the external drive
that it is on is disconnected.
Rename
You can change the file name of an audio file. Doing this
will not break links between audio files and audio clips.
Remove
You can remove references to audio files. Use this function
on audio files that are no longer necessary, for example.
Remove Unused
This removes audio regions that are not used in the
project from the audio pool. If you put a check next to the
Delete unreferenced audio files item before clicking OK, those
audio files will also be erased from the hard disk.
Using the VGA Recorder Interface
Meters
The X-48MKII displays meters on the top of the screen
by default. To show or hide these meters, click the meter
button in the middle of the display. For more about the

Naming Tracks
Each of the tracks can be named for easy reference and for
auto-naming recorded wave files.
To name a track:
Mouse/Keyboard Operation (only)
1 Click on the Tracks tab at the bottom of the screen
or press F1.
2 Double click on the track-name on the left side of
the screen, such as Track 1.
3 Type a new name and press Enter.
Scrolling
You can control the way that tracks scroll on the X-48MKII.
None
None means that playback will not change the view
selected in the screen
Auto-Scroll
Auto-Scroll means that the center line will remain
stationary and the waveform will move under that. The
playback line needs to move to the center of the display
first, but once it “catches up” it will remain there.
Page Flip
Page Flip tells the playback line to scroll across the screen,
then advance to the next chunk of timeline and scroll
across that. This is the same as the default view for Pro
Tools.
To change the scrolling behavior:
1 Click the Options menu and select Scrolling.
2 Choose either None, Auto-Scroll or Page-flip.
You can also click the Auto Scroll button in the top left
corner of the Tracks display:
