Here’s how to send the signals from track channels, input
channels, and effect return channels to the stereo bus, and
record the mixed signal onto the stereo track.
1Call the RECORD screen Mixdown page by
either pressing the Quick Navigate section
[RECORD] key as many times as necessary,
or by pressing the [F4] key after pressing
the [RECORD] key.
When you access this page, record-ready status will be
defeated for all audio tracks, and only the stereo track
will be recordable.
Use the Mixdown page to patch the channels that you
want to record on the stereo track to the stereo bus. For
details on patching, refer to page 75.
2Move the cursor to the REC button and
press the [ENTER] key to turn the button
on.
The panel [STEREO SEL] key will blink red. This
blinking indicates that the stereo track is in record-
ready mode.
3Press the RTZ [ ] key to rewind the song.
Then hold down the REC [●] key and press
the PLAY [ ] key.
The song will begin playing, and the playback will be
recorded on the stereo track.
4When you reach the end of the song, press
the STOP [■] key.
To listen to the recorded result, refer to “Playing back
the stereo track” (following section).
Here’s how to play back the stereo track that you’ve
recorded.
1Call the TRACK screen Stereo TR page by
either pressing the Work Navigate section
[TRACK] key as many times as necessary,
or by pressing the [F3] key after pressing
the [TRACK] key.
2To play back the stereo track, switch the ST
TR MODE ON/OFF button to ON.
When this button is on, the output of the stereo track is
sent to a point immediately before the [STEREO]
fader, and can be monitored from the [STEREO OUT]
jacks, [MONITOR OUT] jacks, and [PHONES] jack.
At this time, record-ready status for all tracks will be
defeated.
