Multitrack recording using overdubbing

Multitrack recording is a term for the series of processes in which you record various sound sources to different tracks and combine them into two mixes (L and R). This recording involves an important process called “overdubbing,” in which you record additional sound sources to different tracks while monitoring the input sound and listening to the recorded sound. The following procedure assumes that you have already recorded a rhythm section using a drum machine on Track 1.

Initialize the recorder.

1. Press the [RECORDTRACK] select key of the desired overdubbing track to set it in READY mode.

The “ready” track’s indicator (a small square) flashes on the display.

5. Press and hold down the [RECORD] button and press the [PLAY] button. (Take)

Play the sound source accompanying the Track 1 sound in the same way as during the rehearsal.

2. Press the [RECORD] button once.

The ready tracks enter input monitoring status, and the other tracks enter playback monitoring status.

3. Press the [PLAY] button to play the Program from the beginning. (Rehearsal)

Adjust the level of the playback monitoring sound (rhythm sound on Track 1) on the mixer. Play the sound source to overdub and adjust the recording level on the mixer.

6.When you finish overdubbing, stop this unit, locate the top of the Program, and play the overdubbed sound as explained in the “Basic Recording And

Playback.”

If you are not satisfied with your overdubbing, perform the Undo function and record again.

In the same way, overdub the necessary tracks.

4.When you finish rehearsing, locate the top of the Program for the actual take.

Ping-pong recording

Ping-pong recording is a recording process in which you mix the playback sound of multiple tracks and record the mix on an empty track. Ping-pong recording enables you to use previously-recorded tracks in a new recording. In this way, you can overdub more sound sources using a limited number of tracks. The following procedure explains how to ping-pong record the sound sources recorded on Tracks 1-6 to Tracks 7 and 8. Once you ping-pong record the tracks, you cannot apply effects to the individual tracks. If necessary, apply effects on the mixer prior to ping-pong recording.

Initialize the recorder.

1.Set all tracks to the SAFE status.

2.Locate the top of the Program on this recorder.

3.Set the master recorder to REC-STANDBY mode.

4.Play the Program from the beginning and adjust the recording level on the master recorder while adjusting the tonal quality and mix balance of the

playback sound from the mixer. (Rehearsal)

Adjust the input level on the master recorder so that the STEREO OUT L/R meters on the mixer respond to the same degree as the level meters on the master recorder.

6.Start recording on the master recorder. (Take)

7.Press the [PLAY] button on this recorder to start playing the Program from the beginning.

8.When mixdown is completed, stop the master recorder and this recorder.

5. Locate the top of the Program.
