The INPUT MODE switch

You will use this switch when you are recording from input A and input B at the same time.

This front panel switch affects the way that you monitor the input signals,

both through the headphones and/or through the jacks. There are two positions:

MONO x 2—The signals from input A and input B are both sent to the center of the monitoring “stage”.

STEREO—The signal from input A is sent to the left, and the signal from input B is sent to the right of the monitoring “stage” forming a stereo pair for use when you are recording stereo instruments such as synthesizers, etc.

INPUT MODE does

not affect the recording at all—just the monitoring process.

In the MONO X 2

mode, the A and B input signals are added together in the center, and you may hear dis- tortion in the monitoring system This does not affect the recording, though.

Figure 1.6: Rear panel connections

Monitoring and recording Use the rear panel LINE OUTPUT RCA jacks to connect the DPto your mon itoring system (that is, an amplifier/ speaker setup). When you’re ready to make your final stereo master, you can use these jacks to connect to an analog recorder.

A typical setup would connect these jacks to the AUX IN of a stereo sys tem.

Use the stereo system’s selector switch to listen to the AUX source when tracking, bouncing or mastering on the DP

When you have mastered the stereo track and you want to record it, set the stereo monitoring system so that the recorder is set to record from the AUX source. Now you are monitoring (or listening) through your stereo system. Effect processor When you want to use an external effect processor

with the DP ect the rear panel SEND of the DPto the mono input of the processor (1/4” unbalanced jack).

Connect the stereo outputs of the processor to the two RETURN jacks of the DP1 (1/4" unbalanced jacks).

“Tracking” means recording tracks on the DP-01. “Mastering” means tak-

ing these recording tracks and mix- ing them down to stereo.

The DP-01FX and DP-01FX/CD their own internal reverb processors.

However, you can also use an external effect processor if you pre- fer.
