Fostex LR16 manual Mixdown, Performing overdub

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback]

(3)After adjusting the input level of channel 3, stop the recorder by pressing the [STOP] key in the recorder or mixer section.

If you press the [STOP] key in the recorder section, the recorder stops at the current position. If you press the [STOP] key in the mixer section, the recorder skips back to the beginning of the project (ABS 0) and stops.

(2)When recording finishes, press the [STOP] key in the recorder or mixer section to stop the recorder.

You can check the result of the overdubbed project (see "Playing back a project" on page 50 for details about how to play back a project).

<Memo>: When you stop recording, the display shows the following message while the LR16 is performing post recording. The more times you edit the project or the more tracks you record to, the longer it takes for post recording.

Performing overdub

(1)Press the [PLAY] key while holding down the [RECORD] key to start recording (overdubbing) and play the guitar.

You can play the guitar while monitoring the playback signals of tracks 1 and 2.

<Note>: Do not press the [NEW PRJ. REC] key in the mixer section.

<Memo>: The data before performing overdub- bing is stored to the "LOG" folder in the project as an ADL file. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can roll back the previous project data before overdubbing (see page 67 for de- tails).

Mixdown

Regardless of whether a project has been recorded track by track using overdubbing technique or recorded all tracks simultaneously, you can play back tracks 1 through 16 of the project and tailor them using the equalizers and internal effects, then send them to the stereo buss via the pan and fader on each mixer channel. In the following procedure, it is assumed that the recorder is stopped at the beginning of the recorded project.

<Hint>: To mix down the recorded project, set the channel source of each mixer channel to the recorder track and play back the recorder. Then tailor each mixer input signal (= each track signal) using the channel equalizer and inter- nal effects, and send it to the stereo buss via the pan and fader. In result, all recorder track signals are mixed to the stereo buss.

<Note>: The mixed stereo signal can be recorded inter- nally using the insert mode.

<Note>: If the FS of the project to be mixed down does not match the "Default FS" setting in the "System" menu of the MENU mode, you cannot record the stereo mix signal (the "FS/Bit" indication flashes on the display for warning). In such a case, change the "Default FS" setting to match the project.
