Mixdown

A song that you have completed by record- STEP7 ing tracks and mixing can be recorded on

an external two-channel recorder such as a cassette tape recorder, DAT recorder or MD recorder. This process is referred to as “mixdown”.

1.Recording a master tape (Mixdown)

Listening to the completed song

1 Use the [CHANNEL] faders to adjust the volume

level of each channel.

2.Applying an effect dur- ing mixdown

During mixdown, you can apply effects such as limiter (an effect which smoothes out the volume of the input signal) or compressor (an effect which compresses the input signal to give the sound more consistency and punch) so the sound that is output and recorded on the external recorder will be con- sistent in volume.

Use the [PAN] knobs and [BALANCE] knobs to

 

adjust the stereo location of each track.

3

Press the [EQ] key for each track and use the

 

[VALUE] dial to adjust the tone.

Adjust the effects. For effects which are particu-

 

larly appropriate during mixdown, refer to “2.
