• The fader of the destination track – the track to which the pro-
cessed vocal track will be recorded – has no effect on the 
recorded signal. The source track fader determines the final 
balance, so set it with care.
NOTE
• When Auto Punch-in/out is engaged, you can monitor the 
source track channels during playback even when not record-
ing.

• If you know the which notes should and should not be used 
for correction, you can turn them on or off via the graphic key-
board, or change the CTRL mode as required and turn notes 
on or off via the corresponding method.
NOTE
• While making the required correction setting you can select 
the BYPASS mode to monitor the pre-correction display set-
tings and sound.
