Mixdown steps

Here's how to mix tracks 1 - 10 and the rhythm section (drum

+bass) sound onto two stereo channels and record these on the master track.

The screen for selecting a V-take for each track appears.

GTR 3- 2

2. Press the [MASTER] status key.

The master track is selected. The display shows the number and name of the V-take currently selected for the master track. (If nothing is recorded on the V-take, the indication shows "NO DATA".)

Instead of pressing the [MASTER] status key, you can also

use the cursor left/right keys to select the master track.

3. If you want to change the V-take, turn the dial.4. When the V-take has been selected, press the [EXIT] key.

The [V-TAKE] key goes out, and the unit returns to the main

screen.

5. From the main screen, press the [MASTER] statuskey several times, until the key is lit in red.

The master track is now ready for recording.

While the key is lit in red, the other tracks as well as the rhythm section and effects operate normally.

The signal recorded on the master track is the signal coming from the [MASTER] fader. This is the same signal that is supplied at the [OUTPUT] jacks.

6. Set the recorder to playback and adjust the mixingbalance of the various tracks.

The individual track level settings as well as the insert effect and send/return effect settings all have an influence on the signal that is sent to the master track. Adjust levels while watching the L/R level meter, and make sure that no signal clipping occurs.

7. To carry out the mixdown operation, press the ZERO [U] key to return to the beginning of the song, and then press the PLAY [R] key while holding down the REC [O] key.

Recording on the master track starts.

8. When recording is complete, press the STOP [P] key.
