2 – About multitrack recording

In a recording studio, the usual mixdown device is an analog or digital stereo tape recorder (or sometimes a CD recorder).

On the Pocketstudio 5, the mix is made to an MP3 file inside the Pocketstudio 5 itself. No cables or external equipment are needed, and you can share the resulting mix with friends immediately, as the sound is digitized, ready for storing and transmitting using a personal computer.

Effects Either when recording or when mixing down, effects are often added to the dry recorded sound to add life and interest to the recording.

The Pocketstudio 5 provides you with a wide range of effects which help to give your recordings a pro- fessional touch.

Special guitar and bass-based effects are available for input A, and vocal-type (and drum) effects for input B, with a reverb being available for all recorded tracks at mixdown. In addition, the tone generator has its own flexible reverb and chorus effects, to add a wide range of different colors to your recording.
