Step by step

A few things to note
- If there is already audio on the track you selected, the tape will overdub on top of it. To avoid this, lift any existing takes out of the way first.
- The orange encoder also controls the main level for Synthesizer and Drum sounds, so use it to balance your recording level before you start.
- Press stop + left arrow at any time to jump back to the very beginning of the tape.
