Audio Track Recording
Using the SAVE SONG + ALL SEQS Command
Once you have created a song or made changes to an existing one, you can save the song to a
formatted ASR-10 disk. In addition to saving the song itself, the SAVE SONG + ALL SEQS
command saves all the individual sequences currently in memory (whether they are part of the
song or not). Audio Track recording data is also stored with the SONG + ALL SEQS file type.
Because the SONG
+
ALL SEQS file saves your Audio Track recording data, it is sometimes
referred to as the Project file. Note that a SONG + ALL SEQS file that is to be saved after a large
amount of RAMTrack data has been recorded will increase in size significantly and may need to
be saved across multiple disks. Be prepared with a few extra floppy disks for this task.

versions. The SHUFFLING DATA message will be displayed before saving, perhaps for
several minutes. This happens because the ASR-10 must manage the Audio Track data
