Overdubbing basics

Overdubbing is recording something new while listening to the previously recorded track(s). It is a very important method in multitrack recording. The following describes an example of over- dubbing for recording a stereo keyboard to tracks 7/8 while listening to the guitar on track 1. See the procedure previously described in "Recording onto a single track" for details about how to record a guitar on track 1. In the procedure below, we assume that the song of which the guitar has been recorded on track 1 is loaded.

Note that you can make overdubbing to another track or other tracks in the same manner as described below.

Preparation for recording

1)Connect the L and R outputs of the keyboard to input connectors of the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B] channels.

Connect the L and R outputs to the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B] channels respectively.

This indicates you can now record the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B] channel signals to tracks 7 and 8 respectively.

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

3)Press the [REC SELECT] key for tracks 7/8.

Tracks 7/8 are record armed and the [REC SELECT] key for tracks 7/8 starts flashing.

On the home screen, the remaining time is shown, while "7" and "8" for the track numbers change to "A" and "B" respectively.

4)Set track faders 1 and 7/8 and the [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.
