Step 2: Overdubbing

1. Assigning inputs to the mixer

In this section, you’ll connect your keyboard to the [INPUT 3] and [IN- PUT 4] jacks, assign the signals to mixer channels 9 and 10, and record the signal on tracks 9 and 10.

1Set the INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 [TRIM] knobs to the minimum posi- tion (+4 dB), lower the [MASTER] fader, and connect your keyboard to the [INPUT 3] and [INPUT 4] jacks.

2Specify the input channels.

Access the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Ch7–12” tab page. Select the “Ch9” icon, and use the [VALUE] dial to select “INPUT 3.” In the same way, select the “Ch10” icon and use the [VALUE] dial to select “INPUT 4.”

Using these settings, the [INPUT 3] and [INPUT 4] jacks will be assigned to mixer channels 9 and 10.

3Press the track 9/10 [TRACK STATUS] key to select INPUT (LED lit orange).4Use the [TRIM] knobs to adjust the input level.

Press the [METER/TRACK VIEW] key. Select the “ ” button and press the [ENTER] key to open the dialog box. Select “PreFaderLev,” and press the [YES/OK] key.

As you play the keyboard, watch the Ch9 and Ch10 levels and adjust the INPUT 3 and 4 [TRIM] knobs.

Set the levels as high as possible without allowing the level meters to reach “CLP” when you play the keyboard at your loudest level.

In general, you should adjust the [TRIM] knob so that the peak indicator (the LED near the [TRIM] knob) lights when the maximum input level is reached.

5Set the [CHANNEL 9–10] fader to unity gain (0 dB).

If you are using a stereo input source, it will be easier to edit track and effect settings if you select adjacent inputs (1–2 or 3–4), and route them to adjacent mixer channels.

Use the [PHONES LEVEL] knob or the [MONITOR OUT LEVEL] knob to adjust the output volume.
