Recording while an effect is inserted

When recording guitar or vocals, it will often be convenient to insert an effect such as a guitar multi or a vocal multi. This type of Òwet recordingÓ can now be done in

INPUT➝TRACK.

<InsertL >

<InsertR >

Insert into one channel of a stereo channel, respectively. This is convenient when you wish to apply a compressor to four channels independently.

Here we will explain the procedure for connecting a guitar to input 1, using a guitar multi Patch to apply stereo effects, and recording the result to tracks 1 and 2.

In order to record the guitar with the best possible sound quality, please use an active-type guitar. Alternatively, use

adirect box (such as the BOSS DI-1) or a compact-type effect unit.

In this case, the compact effect unit will be used to lower the impedance. Thus, turn the power on and the effect off if you do not need to use the effect.
