Adding a Narration (Sound-on-Sound)

By means of preread editing with an audio mixer connected (see page 86), you can mix in an audio signal with the existing recorded soundtrack, but extension menu item 819 provides a simple sound-on-sound editing function for adding a narration, using this unit alone.

To add a narration from microphone input

As an example, the following procedure describes how to record a narration mixed with audio channels 1 and 2 already recorded on the tape, when the microphone is connected to input audio channel 1.

In this case, first connect the microphone to the AUDIO IN CH-1 connector, and set the audio input and editing mode as follows.

•In the input selection section (see page 15), with the CH1, 1/2 button, select an analog audio signal.

•In the edit mode setting section (see page 21), press the INSERT CH-1 and CH-2 buttons, turning them on.

After checking the above settings, use the following procedure.
