Overdubbing – listening to the playback while you record another track

The technique of listening to the playback of previously- recorded tracks while you record another track is called “overdubbing.” For example, this can be used when you want to listen to previously-recorded backing tracks while you record a lead guitar performance.

1Select the track that you want to record.

Press the [REC SELECT] key of the track that you want to record, assigning a “ ” symbol to the track number in the display.

Raise the [TRACK] faders of the playback tracks.

2Adjust the recording level of the input source, and press the [PLAY] key.

You can practice your performance while listening to the previously-recorded tracks in the same way as when actually recording. Adjust the level of your input source (instrument), and practice playing and working out your musical ideas until you are ready to actually record.

If you cannot hear the input source, press the [SYSTEM] key, and turn the “MixerSys” parameter “AutoIn” to “Off.”

3Start recording.

Set the time to a location slightly before the point where you want to start recording, and press the

[REC] key. When you are ready, press the [PLAY] key to start recording. (→ p.25)

Punch-in/outre-recording a portion of a track

If you make a mistake in one part of your recorded perfor- mance, or if you are not happy with your performance, you can re-record just a portion of the track without hav- ing to re-record the entire track from the beginning.

“Punch-in” is the action of switching the song from playback mode to record mode, and “punch-out” is the action of switching from record mode back to playback mode.

1Adjust the recording level of the input source. Refer to “1. Recording methods” steps 1 4 .

2Set the monitor output to “automatic input switch- ing.”

Press the [SYSTEM] key, and use the [CURSOR] up/ down keys to access the “System” page. Press the [CURSOR] right key to display “MixerSys.” Press the

[CURSOR] right key once again, and use the dial to set “AutoIn” to “On”

When “AutoIn” is “Off,” you will always hear the input sound of the track being recorded. If this is turned “On,” the sound recorded on that track will play back during playback, and during recording this will automatically switch to the sound of the assigned input source. (→ p.62)
