After overdubbing and ping-pong recording, you can mix all track data into two channel stereo data and
record it onto your master recorder. This final process of multitrack recording is called “mixdown.”
The mixdown signals are usually output from the mixer’s STEREO OUT L/R. Connect the master recorder
The explanation so far has been based on one Program set up when you format a current drive (E-IDE
hard disk or SCSI disk). You may create up to 99 Programs, depending on the available disk space.
Multiple Programs do not interfere with each other. You can record, play, and edit each Program
independently, which facilitates song management. This section explains how to set up a new Program
on the disk. Refer to the reference manual for more information regarding Programs.
