A quick overview of modes SONG/CDCD This mode allows you to select songs, create a new song, rename a song, perform song editing functions (copy song, move song, protect song, etc.), use the Program Play function, listen to audio CDs and burn a CDR/RW of your final mix.

RECORD Here you can select the Recording mode (Input or Bounce). The default setting to record tracks is Input.

The upper-left of the display will indicate which parameter you are adjusting.

METER/TRACK VIEW This mode enables you to see level meters for all of the tracks, effect sends, Monitor and Master outputs.
