Setting track pan and level Use the track faders and PAN knobs on the Mixer screen of the already recorded tracks to adjust the levels and stereo positions for monitoring the playback signals while making new recording. Input selection and assignment Use the procedures described earlier in this chapter to assign input sources to the recording tracks. Setting input levels After making the settings, press the PLAY (7) button to start playback. Just as though you were recording, you can monitor the sound of already recorded tracks playing back and the input sources on the tracks for recording, allowing you to check the monitoring balance and volume.

Undoing an operation This unit allows you to undo an operation or recording that was not successful or satisfactory. Many ordinary operations, including editing and recording, can be canceled (undone). This unit has two types of undo functions. Single undo can be performed by a simple button press, while multiundo allows you to return to a specific past operation and undo the operations that occurred after it. You can use the undo function for the following operations. •• Track editing operations (functions described in this chapter) •• Recording operations (including track bouncing) •• Auto punch in/out operations All these operations are stored on the SD card as song information. Even when you turn the unit off (standby), the previous operations are stored and can be undone when you turn on the unit again. When listening to a part that you replaced in your last recording, for example, you find that the previous take was better. In such a case, you can use the undo function to easily get your previous take back. NOTE The UNDO/REDO button becomes lit when a single undo or multi-undo has been performed. Setting the undoing feature 1. When the recorder is stopped, press the MENU button to open the MENU screen. 2. Use the JOG/DATA dial or the CURSOR (5/b/g/t) buttons to select (green highlight) PREFERENCE, and then press the F4 (t) button. The PREFERENCE menu screen appears. 3.
