Mixing
After recording all tracks (1 through 8), you can tailor the sound of each track. The following describes about
settings for level, pan, EQ and effects.
Adjusting levels
Adjust the playback level of each track using the cor-
responding fader (1 through 6 and 7/8).
The levels of tracks 7 and 8 are simultaneously con-
trolled by a single fader (7/8).
Adjust the stereo master output (ST OUT L/R) levels
using the [MASTER] fader.
<About master output levels>
You can view the stereo master output (L/R) levels
from the L/R level meters on the screen. The output
levels are affected by the [MASTER] fader position.
Be sure not to set the fader level too high to avoid
the sound distorted.
