When the mixer corresponds to recorded tracks (TRACK MIX)

In this mode the mixer will function as an 8-in/10-out mixer placed after the recorder section. The mixer channels will correspond to recorded tracks.

Input:

The track output (1Ð8) of the recorder section will be in one-to-one correspondence with the chan- nels (1Ð8) of the mixer section.

Equalizer:

The equalizer section will normally function as 2-band parametric equalizers with high (shelving type) and low (shelving type) bands. These can be turned off if you do not wish to use them.

The V-XPANDED enhancement also allows the equalizers to be used as 3-band parametric equal- izers. Refer to ÒUsing 3-band equalizer in INPUT MIX/TRACK MIXÓ (p.20).

Output:

The outputs of each channel are combined into a stereo signal by the MIX buss, and output from the MASTER OUT jacks. The same signal will also be sent from the PHONES jack and the DIGI- TAL OUT connector.

Switching the mixer mode

The current mixer mode is shown by the indicator located at the right of MIXER MODE [SELECT]. Use the following procedure to switch the mixer mode. The reason that this procedure is required is to prevent you from accidentally selecting a mixer mode that radically changes the internal structure of the mixer.

To switch from INPUTTRACK mode to INPUT MIX mode or TRACK MIX mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press [SELECT]. If you once again hold down [SHIFT] and press [SELECT], you will return to INPUTTRACK mode. INPUT MIX mode and TRACK MIX mode will alternate each time the [SELECT] button is pressed.

Recording the current condition of the mixer (Scene)

Up to 8 sets of mixer settings can be stored for each song. A stored set of mixer settings is called a Òscene,Ó and can be recalled at the touch of a button. For example if during mixdown you wish to compare different mixing balances, you can store each different mixer setting as a scene.
