Mixdown 33

6While listening through the headphones or monitor speakers, use the faders, PAN con- trols, and EQ controls of input channels 1–4 to adjust the mixdown.

First, use the PAN controls to set the left/right bal- ance. Next, adjust the faders to set the volume bal- ance of each track. At the ideal level, the +12 mark of the stereo level meter should light occasionally. Make fine adjustments to the STEREO fader as necessary. Finally, use the EQ controls as desired to adjust the tone, and re-adjust the volume levels if necessary.

Record to your master recorder

When the mix balance is complete, you can record the result to your master recorder.

7Put your master recorder in record mode, and playback the MD4S song from the beginning.

8When the mixdown is finished, stop the MD4S and the master recorder.
