Recording onto a single track

You can record onto any one of tracks 1 through 4. When making recording to a single track, you can record a signal fed to the [INPUT A] channel.

The following describes the procedure for recording an acoustic guitar onto track 1 via a micro- phone. We assume that Song02 is loaded and no sound is recorded to Song02. See "Creating a song for recording" on page 31 for details about how to create a song.

Preparation for recording

1)Connect a microphone to the [BAL] or [UNBAL/GUITAR] input connector of the [INPUT A] channel.

<Note>: You can supply the phantom power to a condenser microphone connected to the [BAL] XLR connector (see page 128). Note that you cannot supply the phantom power via the [GUITAR/UNBAL] phone con- nector.

3)Press the [REC SELECT] key for track 1.

Track 1 is record armed and the [REC SELECT] key for track 1 starts flashing.

On the home screen, the remaining time is shown, while "1" for the track number changes to "A".

2)Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "MIC/LINE".

<Note>: You can apply the mic simulation as insert effects when the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "MIC/LINE" (see page 58).

4)Set track fader 1 and [MASTER] fader to the nominal position (marked by ).

Raising these faders allows you to monitor the input sound. If these faders are not raised, you cannot monitor the sound via headphones.
