Lead line

Now we can use track 2 to record the lead guitar line.
We’ll add an effect to the lead guitar to make it sound
a little more interesting.

If you don’t want to play through the whole song,
you can use the procedures described in “Auto punch
operations” on page 46
.

NOTE

You can also perform audio edits, cutting, copying and
pasting between tracks, etc. to correct small mistakes.
These operations are explained in “About track edit-
ing” on page 49.
