TRACK COPY
It is possible to copy the audio material from one track to another on the same tape
within the XT without leaving the digital domain and without the need for any audio
cables. In fact, you can copy up to 4 tracks at a time using the Track Copy feature.
For more information on using the Track Copy function, see page 38.
To bounce audio from one track to another:
¿Press and hold [TRACK COPY].
The
TRK COPY
icon will light in the display.
¡While holding [TRACK COPY], select a source track (up to 4) by pressing any of
the RECORD ENABLE buttons [1]–{8].
The
INPUT
LEDs for the selected track(s) will light. Note: You can’t select a
track that is already in record-ready (
REC

RECORD ENABLE is pressed, its

LED won’t light while holding the
[TRACK COPY]
button.
¬Release [TRACK COPY], and choose a destination track (up to 4) by pressing
one of the RECORD ENABLE buttons [1]–[8].
The
REC
LEDs for the selected track(s) will light. Note: You cannot select a

LED won’t light.
÷Use the [REWIND], [FAST FWD] or [LOCATE 0] through [LOCATE 9] buttons to

icon is lit (indicating that Track Copy mode is selected) you will

button (the

icon will light in the display).
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
If necessary, the brightness of the XT’s display may be adjusted to allow more
suitable viewing under various lighting conditions.
To adjust the display brightness:
¿Hold the [PEAK CLEAR] button.
¡While still holding [PEAK CLEAR], press either PITCH [s] or [t] to dim or brighten.
The display will immediately respond by either dimming or brightening,
depending on which button was pressed.
