• Press transport start recording button (red round button).
• Path will flash and update in batch window and remain flashing while recording.
• Press transport stop recording button (white square button).
• Before clicking chk-OK, be sure to set the Insertion strategy.

• Or press X-cancel to terminate and dismiss the Recording application.
