the song that will be created, and select the mixer

quantization and the number of tracks, and press
the [ENTER] key to finalize your selection. Set the
“MixerSet” radio buttons in the same way. (“Song-
Type,” “MixerSet” →p.88)

2. Naming a song
Now you can assign a name to the newly created song.
We recommend that you assign a name to the song
before recording it, so that it can be distinguished from
other songs.
If you wish to change the name of another song, select
that song before you begin the following procedure.
