Basic recording (recording onto a single track)
At first, let’s record a single sound source onto a single track to know the basic recording procedure of the VF80
There are 8 recording tracks (Tracks 1 through 8) and you can record onto any desired track(s).
In the following example, we are going to record an electric guitar (with an effect unit) onto Track 1.
Before starting, set all the track faders (1 through 6 and 7-8) and the master fader to the lowest position (-), and
the [TRIM] knob to the left most position (LINE).
Preparation for recording
Connect the [INPUT A] UNBAL jack to the output of the
effect unit whose input is connected to a guitar.
To record onto Track 1, 3, 5 or 7, use INPUT A.
Connect the [PHONES] jack to headphones for moni-
toring.
Press the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key of Track
1.
The key lighting in green changes to flashing in red,
showing Track 1 is now armed. (The “Remain” time is
shown on the screen.)
The [CH ON/OFF] key of INPUT A automatically lights.
In this condition, by pressing the [CH ON/OFF] key of IN-
PUT A, INPUT A can be muted.
Raise both the track 1 fader and master fader to “0” po-
sition.
This is preparation for monitoring sound. If both of
these faders are set at the minimum position, no sound
can be monitored.
<Note>
The track 1 fader can be used for adjusting the moni-
tor level without affecting the recording level. To
adjust the recording level, use the
[TRIM]
knob of
INPUT A.
Press the [RECORD] key.
The key starts flashing in red, while Track 1 (which is
armed) changes to the input monitor mode.
