Mixing down tracks

After completing recording, the next (final) process is "mixdown". We assume that all the four tracks are recorded.

Setting up

1)Unplug the stereo headphones.

NOTE

When headphones are plugged in, the audio performance from the LINE OUT jacks is slightly degraded.

WARNING

Before making the connections below, make sure that all equipment is turned off.

2)Connect the LINE OUT jacks of the MF-P01 to the AUX IN (or TUNER IN, CD IN, TAPE IN, etc) of your amplifier.

3)Connect the master recorder to the amplifier appropriately (see page 6).

4)Set the amplifier’s input source to the MF-P01 and the level volume appropri- ately.

NOTE

You may directly connect the MF-P01 LINE OUT jacks to the recorder’s line input jacks without using any amplifier.
