Mixdown effect algorithms

Algorithm 1 ( POWER 0 – POWER 9 )

4-5

 

Recording on the master recorder

 

 

 

POWER 0

POWER 9

This effect adds fat bass and more power to the sound. Higher values produce more bass emphasis.

When the mixdown effect setting is completed, you are ready to record the final mix on the master recorder.

Algorithm 2 ( BOOST 0 – BOOST 9 )

1. Use the ZERO [U] key to return to the beginning of the song.

Set the master recorder to the recording condition.

BOOST 0

BOOST 9

This effect produces a tight low end and crisp high end. Higher values produce more bass and treble boost.

2.

 

3.

Press the PLAY [R] key.

Basic Operation

Algorithm 3 ( VOCAL 0 – VOCAL 9 )

VOCAL

0

This effect emphasizes the midrange, lending warmth and suppleness to

 

 

 

 

 

 

vocals. Higher values produce more midrange emphasis.

VOCAL

9

 

 

 

 

 

2.While playing the song, use the [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys to adjust the algorithm.

The up/down [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys change the setting value. When the highest or lowest setting is reached, the unit switches to the next algorithm.

POWER 8

POWER 9

BOOST 0

Pressing the left/right [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys changes directly to the next algorithm.

BOOST 5

VOCAL 0

3.Press the [EXIT/NO] key.

The main screen returns.

4.

When the song has been completely recorded, stop the master recorder and the

 

MRS-4.

5.

To check the recording, rewind the master recorder and play the recording from

 

the beginning.

HINT

Whenever you make any changes to a song on the MRS-4, the song is automatically saved on the SmartMedia card.
