Stereo source
Basic recording (recording onto two tracks)
After recording onto track 1 as described in the previous section, let’s make recording of a stereo sound source
onto tracks 3 and 4.
Preparation for recording
Connect the [INPUT A] UNBAL and [INPUT B] UNBAL
jacks to the L and R outputs of the stereo source re-
spectively.
Press the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] keys of Tracks
3 and 4.
The keys lighting in green change to flashing in red,
showing Tracks 3 and 4 are now armed. (The “Remain
time is shown on the screen.)
The [CH ON/OFF] keys of INPUT A and B automatically
light in green.
Raise the faders of tracks 3 and 4 and [MASTER] fader
to “0” position.
This is preparation for monitoring sound. If both of
these faders are set at the minimum position, no sound
can be monitored.
Press the [RECORD] key.
The [RECORD] key starts flashing in red, while Tracks 3
and 4 (which are armed) changes to the input monitor
mode.
Use the [TRIM] knobs of INPUT A and B while playing
the stereo source to get proper gain.
Set the gain at maximum within the range in which the
[PEAK] indicator does not turn on.
You can monitor both the input level of Tracks 3 and 4
from the bar-graph meters on the screen.
