Setting the mix balance and pan

Here’s how to set the volume balance and pan for the previously-recorded tracks and the tracks that you now will be overdubbing.

1 While you play back the song, raise the track channel faders for the previously- recorded tracks to an appropriate monitor- ing level.

HINT

•For example if you’ve already recorded tracks 1–4, press the Layer section [TRACK 1-12] key to make it light, and use the top panel faders 1–4 to control track channels 1–4.

2 Press the [SEL] key for a previously- recorded track, and press the Selected Channel section [PAN/EQ] key so that its indicator lights.

3 Rotate the Selected Channel knob 1 to adjust the pan.

Adjust the pan in the same way for the other track channels.

4 Stop the recorder, and while producing sound on your instrument, adjust the fader of the recording-destination track channel so that the monitoring level is appropriate.

The track channel for the recording-destination track will send the input signal to the stereo bus while recording or stopped, and will send the track playback signal to the stereo bus during playback. This means that in order to monitor the input signal, you must stop the recorder.

HINT

•The position of the track channel faders will not affect the recording level. However if you set the faders to 0 dB, the playback volume will be the same as when you recorded the tracks.

5 Press the [SEL] key for the recording-desti- nation track channel, and press the Selected Channel section [PAN/EQ] key so that its indicator lights.

6 Rotate the Selected Channel knob 1 to adjust the pan.

In the same way as for the input channel signal, you can also use EQ and dynamics (compressor) to process the track channel.

By operating the track channel you’ve selected as the recording-destination, you can adjust the panning or tone of the monitor signal without affecting the signal that is actually recorded.
