Model X-34 Owner’s Manual

For example, part of the electric bass recorded on track 2 will be replaced during overdubbing.

We assume that you have already loaded a prerecorded tape in the X-34 and rewound to the beginning of the recorded tracks.

The MON MIX indicator lights up.

2.Advance the tape to a point just before where new material is to be inserted.

3.Plug the electric bass into the front panel LINE IN/INSERT jack 2.

Rehearsing the Punch In

4.Make sure the Track Down indicator is turned off, then place track 2 in REC READY mode by pressing the REC TRK switch 2.

The REC TRK 2 indicator on channel 2 lights up, and the REC indicator flashes slowly.

5.Raise the channel 2 input/playback level fader to adjust the recording level while you play the electric bass.

6.You can adjust the overall headphones or monitor volume using the MONITOR knob and the channel 2 MON MIX/AUX knob.

7.Press the PLAY button to start playback.

8.Use the MON MIX/AUX and PAN knobs to adjust the output and stereo image for each track.

9.Step on the foot switch when you reach the punch-in point and play your part.

The REC indicator flashes faster. Only track 2 will enter input monitor mode. This means that you can hear the new bass part on track 2 along with the playback sound from other tracks.

10.Step on the foot switch again when you wish to punch out.

The REC indicator flashes more slowly, and the X-34 enters input monitoring mode.

11.When you finish rehearsing, stop the transport by pressing the STOP button and rewind the tape.

Because no recording takes place during rehearsal, repeat the process up to this point to set the recording level and get your playing technique down, and also practice the timing of the punch in and out. Punching in and out in tempo (on strong beats) can help camouflage the edit.
