"Hi, I'm JA Donnelly for Expert Village. Today I'm going to talk to you about 4 track recording. On this screen we're going to select an instrument and a good instrument you start off with is a bass of course. So if I want to select a bass guitar, you can do this with any instrument if you actually played guitar or a bass. Select that and see what we can come up with. I selected my bass and now I'm going to play it through my keyboard and when I play it throughout my keyboard, I'll show you the next step that it will record on track one. Remember we have track one, track two, track three, four this is going to be track one, it's the bass. So now looking at the mixer while recording the bass, we'll zoom in here a bit you see my track in the center there, it's the bass. That's the track and over here that's the master channel."
