3-5. Mixdown

Mixdown is the final step in multitrack recording and allows you to combine multiple track recordings to L and R channels (two mixes), and copy the data to a master recorder. The mixdown signal is output from the mixer STEREO OUT L/R connector. Connect the Inputs of the master recorder to the STEREO OUT L/R.

*Set the D-160 to the default setting.

*This manual assumes that you have already recorded sound sources to all sixteen tracks.

*Refer to the mixer instruction manual for applying effects.

*Connect the master recorder to the mixer STEREO OUT L/R as shown in the diagram.
