Mixing signals of inputs A through D

The MR-8HD/CD can mix input signals of [INPUT A] through [INPUT D]. The following diagram shows an example of mixing signals of INPUT A through INPUT D when bouncing tracks 1 through 6 to tracks 7/8. As you can see, the signals of INPUT A through INPUT D are mixed to the L/R stereo buss together with the bounced signals.

Connecting sound sources to INPUT A through INPUT D

Before starting track bouncing, connect the de- sired sound source(s) to any desired input(s) between INPUT A and INPUT D.

To mix the input signal of an input channel (any of INPUT A through INPUT D) to the L/R stereo buss, turn on the corresponding [TO STEREO BUSS ON/OFF] key.

[TO STEREO BUSS ON/OFF] key

Adjust the input level of each input using the [TRIM] control to match the balance with the bounced track levels.

Also, you can adjust panning of each input for stereo mix. See the next page for details about how to set panning.

When the [TO STEREO BUSS ON/OFF] key is turned on, the key illuminates in green. That is, when the key illuminates, input signal is sent to recording tracks. (Note that when the key flashes, the corresponding input is assigned to any recording track.)

<Note>: If you press the [TO STEREO BUSS ON/OFF] key when make recording other than track bouncing, the key lamp may flash. This shows the input signal is routed to the armed track. That is, the input signal will be recorded to the armed track, in stead of mixed to the stereo buss.
