Overdubbing with higher sound quality

(DIRECT MIX)

In the DIRECT MIX mode, the playback sound and mic input sounds are mixed in the unit when recording, allowing overdubbing at higher quality.

Headphones should be used for monitoring to prevent the microphones from picking up the playback sound.

The DIRECT MIX mode is automatically activated when headphones are connected. You can also follow the steps below to activate the DIRECT MIX mode manually to overdub sounds in higher quality without using headphones for monitoring. Do this when you overdub the sound of an electric instrument through the LINE IN jacks, for example.

1Press the OVERDUB [º] key to start recording standby.

2Press the F1 key to activate DIRECT MIX mode.

After this, follow the same procedures as for ordinary overdubbing (OVERDUB).
