Recording onto four tracks simultaneously

You can simultaneously record up to four tracks. See page 34 for the available combinations of four recording tracks. The following describes the procedure for recording different sound sources simultaneously to tracks 1 through 4. You can make four-track simultaneous recording with any available track combination in the same manner.

Preparation for recording

3)Press the [REC SELECT] key for tracks 1 through 4.

1)Connect the following sound sources to the [INPUT A] through [INPUT D] channels.

Tracks 1 through 4 are record armed and the [REC SELECT] keys for tracks 1 through 4 start flashing.

[INPUT A]	->	Electric guitar
[INPUT B]	->	Electric bass
[INPUT C]	->	Microphone (vocal)
[INPUT D]	->	Drum machine

<Note>: If you connect a condenser micro- phone to the [BAL] XLR connector of the [IN- PUT C] channel, you can supply the phan- tom power to the microphone (see page 128).

On the home screen, track numbers "1" through "4" changes to "A" through "D" respectively, showing that each input is assigned to the appropriate track.

The remaining time of the hard disk is shown.

2)Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "GTR DIST".

You can add distortion of the internal effects to your guitar sound.

<Note>: You can apply the amp simulation as insert effects when the [INPUT A SELECT] switch is set to "GTR DIST" (see page 58).

4)Set the track faders 1 through 4 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.
