Step 4: Mixdown

When you have finished recording all tracks, you can use the built-in mixer to adjust parameters such as volume level, EQ (equalizer), and panning (stereo left/right positioning) to create a pair of stereo tracks to create the finished song. This process is called “mixdown”.

The result of the mixdown process can be either recorded on an external master recorder or on the master track incorporated in the MRS-802. The following example describes recording on the master track.

HINT

Instead of the master track you can also select one or two ordinary tracks as recording target. This is called “bounce recording”. After using this function, you can switch the source V-take and record a new part. This is convenient when there are not enough free recording tracks. (For information on the bounce function, see page 39.)

4.1 Preparations for mixdown

1. Make sure that all status keys for the tracks you want to mix are lit in green, and that the other status keys are out.

If the rhythm section was used simply as guide rhythm, turn the [DRUM] status key off so that the drum track will not be added to the mix.

2. Turn the [INPUT 1] and [INPUT 2] keys off.

2. Use the status keys or the cursor left/right keys to select a track.

When the track parameter display is shown, you can use the status keys or the cursor left/right keys to select a track. The currently selected status key is lit in orange.

3. Use the cursor up/down keys to select a trackparameter.

You can also add the signal from input 1 and/or input 2 to the mix. To do this, set the [INPUT 1] and/or [INPUT 2] key to on.
