AUTO TRACK function is turned on, or you can turn off the 
function and insert them manually.

sources, the track information recorded in the digital source sig-
nal is used. For analog recording, periods of silence (no audio
input from the recording source) are interpreted as track separa-
tions and a track mark is inserted.
