■Monitor the signal being recorded on the track

9Press the MONITOR SELECT CUE switch to turn it on.

The MONITOR SELECT switches choose the sig- nal source that will be monitored. When the CUE switch is on, the signal from the CUE bus will be sent to the PHONES jack and the MONITOR OUT jacks, allowing you to monitor the sound through headphones or monitor speakers.

0Raise the CUE LEVEL control of input channel 1 to the 7–8 mark.

The CUE LEVEL controls of input channels 1–4 adjust the signal that is sent from tracks 1–4 to the

CUE bus (for tracks that are in record/record- pause mode this will be the recording source, or for tracks that are playing back this will be the playback sound of the track).

AWhile listening to your headphones or moni- tor speakers, adjust the MONITOR LEVEL control to an appropriate volume.

BAs desired, use the EQ controls to adjust the tone.

Adjusting the EQ controls will affect the recording level. When you finish adjusting the EQ controls, use the GAIN control to re-adjust the recording level as necessary.
