8 Press the Layer section [TRACK 1-12] key so that its indicator lights.

This selects the TRACK 1-12 mixing layer so you can use [ON] keys 1–12, [SEL] keys 1–12, and faders 1– 12 to operate track channels 1–12. At this point check that all faders are set to their minimum – ∞ positions.

9 Press the [SEL] key(s) for the record-desti- nation track(s).

You can select up to four tracks for recording. Bus1 L and Bus2 L can be assigned to odd-numbered tracks, while Bus1 R and Bus2 R can be assigned to even- numbered tracks. The [SEL] keys of track channels to which buses have been assigned will flash red and the record-ready mode will be engaged.

For example, the display will change as shown when the track channel 1 [SEL] key is pressed repeatedly.

•This operation can also be carried out by moving the cursor to the mark of the record track and repeatedly pressing the [ENTER] key.

•When paired tracks (→ p. 58) are selected as the record desti- nation the pan settings of the odd- and even-numbered tracks will automatically be set to left and right, respectively, allowing the pair to be used as a stereo track.

•When a single track is selected as the record destination the pan of the corresponding track channel will automatically be set to center.

•To cancel all connections, move the cursor to the SAFE but- ton and press the [ENTER] key.

NOTE

•The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks.

•Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 12 play tracks (→ p. 165), tracks 13–24 are muted and will not play back.

10 Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB posi- tion.

11 Check that the Layer section [TRACK 1-12] key is lit, then raise the fader of the track selected as the record destination to an appropriate monitor level.

The signal sent to the track via Bus1/Bus2 will be out- put via the [STEREO OUT] and [MONITOR OUT] jacks.

12 To set the level and pan for input channels 1–8 press the Layer section [IN 1-8] key so that its indicator lights.

If multiple input channels are patched to the same bus the individual level and pan settings for each input cannot be changed after recording. For this reason it is necessary to set up the individual channel levels and pan applied to Bus1/Bus2 as required before record- ing.

●To Adjust Volume/Balance

Set the input channel 1–8 faders as required.

●To Adjust Pan

After pressing the [SEL] key of the corresponding input channel press the Selected Channel section [PAN/EQ] key so that its indicator lights. Selected Channel knob 1 can now be used to adjust panning for the channel currently selected via the [SEL] keys. For more details refer to “Pan Control” on page 147.

NOTE

•When the outputs from multiple channels are mixed and recorded it may be necessary to adjust the input channel fad- ers to prevent the combined signal level from getting too high.

•We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. This will degrade the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to distort.

•To hear the input channel pan settings via the monitor system the track channels corresponding to the two record-destina- tion tracks should be assigned as a pair.
