Mode parameters

This section explains the parameters that appear in the dis- play for each mode you select using the Mode knob.

REC MODE

Select the recording mode

Here you can select the recording mode. The mixer settings will change according to the mode you select, allowing you to execute the desired type of recording. An icon in the display indicates the recording mode you selected here.

Input: input recording

This recording mode lets you perform conventional recording.

The external input(s) assigned to the track(s) record- enabled by “REC SELECT” will be recorded.

Bounce: bounce recording

With this recording mode, the playback of the tracks you specify (together with an external audio input source) can be recorded on one or two other tracks that are record- enabled by “REC SELECT.”

For example, you might input your performance on track 1 while listening to the playback of tracks 2, 3, and 4, and record all of these sounds together on track 1. Alterna- tively, you could input your performance on tracks 1 and 2 while listening to the playback of tracks 3 and 4, and record all of these sounds together on tracks 1 and 2.

Mastering: mastering recording

In this recording mode, the playback of the tracks will be mixed down to the track(s) that are record-enabled by “REC SELECT.”

If you’re using all four tracks, use Mastering to combine these into two tracks or one track. You can also use Mas- tering to apply a master effect or final effect to two already-recorded tracks, and re-record the result onto two other tracks.

CnvrtMP2: stereo MP2 song recording

This recording mode converts a completed song into a ste- reo MP2 song.

If you convert a song into a stereo MP2 song, you will be able to send it to your computer and play it back using an application that is able to play MPEG1 Layer 2 files. When you execute MP2 recording, a playback-only stereo MP2 song will be newly created; the existing song will not be overwritten. The mixer will operate in the same way as for Mastering recording.

When you switch the recording mode, the TRACK ASSIGN, REC SELECT, and effect assignments will be turned off.
