How to Record Tracks 3 and 4

Tracks 3 and 4 can be recorded using almost the same procedure just shown for tracks 1 and 2. Just use the applicable RECORD FUNCTION switches, and the PAN controls should be rotated to the LEFT for recording on Track 3 and to the RIGHT for Track 4.

How to Record Many Sources onto a Single Track

In the first example, we recorded one source onto one track at a time for simplicity. But the mixer of the Portastudio 414 MKII can take multiple channels and mix them onto a single track. To do this :

–Set the PAN control of each channel to the same setting, for example :

In this example, all instruments plugged into channels 1-4 will be recorded onto Track 1 or 3.

–Lower the MASTER fader to make overall level adjustments once you have each channel's TRIM and fader level set.

–Make sure the INPUT switch of every channel you want to record is set to MIC/LINE.

■You can't record the stereo channels onto a single track.
