Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback]

You can perform live recording while you use the LR16 as a PA mixer on live stage.

<Recording to tracks 1 through 16>

Each channel input signal is directly routed to the correspond- ing recorder track (shown by the heavy line in the diagram on the right).

Each input signal is level-adjusted by the [TRIM] control and converted to digital, then routed to the recorder track, with- out being tailored by the equalizer, etc. Therefore, you can record pure input signals which are not affected by mixer setting for PA.

You can edit and mix down the signals recorded on tracks 1 through 16 after live performance.

<Recording the stereo mix>

Mixed channel input signals are routed to the stereo mix track through the mixer channel (shown by the heavy line in the diagram on the right).

Each input signal goes to the mixer channel and is tailored using the EQ, internal effects, etc., then is routed to the ste- reo buss where all input signals are mixed, and then routed to the stereo mix track.

Therefore, the same signal as the [STEREO OUT] and [MON OUT] signal is recorded to the stereo mix track.

In other words, you can record the same signal as the PA output signal.

You can play back a stereo mix file recorded to the stereo mix track using the memory play function.

<Recording to tracks 1 through 16 and stereo mix track simultaneously>

You can record each input signal individually to the corre- sponding track (shown by the dotted line on the right dia- gram), while recording the stereo-mixed signal to the stereo mix track simultaneously.

In other words, you can record the same signal as the PA output signal, as well as record individual signals indepen- dently. You can edit and mix down the individual signals recorded on tracks 1 through 16 after live performance.

*You can play back the project recorded on tracks 1 through 16, while you can play back the stereo mix using the memory play function.
