The Recorder

1. Recording

You can connect audio sources such as guitar and keyboard to the input jacks, make mixer settings to assign these audio input sources to tracks of the recorder, and then record them. The D1200 has twelve recording/playback tracks, and each of the twelve tracks has eight virtual tracks.

The following pages explain how to record audio on these tracks.

1-1. Basic recording

Here’s how to record the audio signal that you specified in “1. Inputting audio to the mixer” (→ p.35).

If you want to create a new song for recording, set refer to “1-1. Creating a new song” (→ p.31).

1Check the recording mode.

Access the [BOUNCE] “RecMode” tab page. Set “Select RecMode” to “Input” (=record the input audio).

high as possible without allowing the level bar to reach “CLP.”

4Move the counter location to the point in the song where you want to begin recording. (→ p.32)

Start recording from the beginning of the song (“001.01.000” or “000:00.000”).

5Press the [REC] key (the [REC] and [PLAY] LEDs will blink).

6Press the [PLAY] key (the [REC] and [PLAY] LEDs will light).

Begin performing on your instrument.

7When you are finished performing, press the [STOP] key (the [REC] and [PLAY] LEDs will go dark). Listen to the playback to verify that your performance was recorded correctly.

1-2. Switching the virtual track for recording

The D1200 has twelve tracks, and each of these provides eight virtual tracks, labeled a-h.

For example when you record a solo part, you can record two or more “takes,” each on their own virtual track, and select the best one later. Or when bounce-recording (ping- pong recording), you can specify two unrecorded virtual tracks as the recording-destination, allowing you to combine twelve tracks of data into two tracks without erasing any existing tracks. (→ p.64)

Recording on a different virtual track

1Select a virtual track.

In the [TRACK] “Vtr1–6” or “Vtr7–12” tab page, select the track that you want to record, and turn the [VALUE] dial to select an unrecorded virtual track.
