VIRTUAL TRACKS
N.UNUSED Automatically finds the next unused 'virtual' track and assigns it to the

However, since a V.Track can only be assigned to one Physical Track at a
time, it is not possible to assign a V.track that is already assigned to another
Physical track without unassigning it first. You will be prompted if you
attempt to assign a V-Track that is already in use on another 'physical' track.

It should be mentioned that the V.Track function is not only useful for repeated attempts at
the same recording or overdub (like re-recording the same guitar part or vocal or whatever
over and over again)... you could find yourself in a situation where, for example, you lay
down a guitar part but think that maybe a keyboard part might be more appropriate. Or you
could lay down a synth bass line and think it might be better done with a different sound.
Neither of these scenarios are a problem... simply use the V.Track function to try out different
ideas on the same track(s). The beauty is that you are not committing yourself to anything
until you need to.
