Overdubbing – listening to the playback while you
record another track
The technique of listening to the playback of previously-
recorded tracks while you record another track is called
“overdubbing.” For example, this can be used when you
want to listen to previously-recorded backing tracks while
you record a lead guitar performance.
1 Select the track that you want to record.
Press the [REC SELECT] key of the track that you
want to record, assigning a “ ” symbol to the track
number in the display.
Raise the [TRACK] faders of the playback tracks.
2 Adjust the recording level of the input source, and
press the [PLAY] key.
You can practice your performance while listening to
the previously-recorded tracks in the same way as
when actually recording. Adjust the level of your
input source (instrument), and practice playing and
working out your musical ideas until you are ready to
actually record.
If you cannot hear the input source, press the [SYSTEM] key,
and turn the “MixerSys” parameter “AutoIn” to “Off.”
(p.62)
3 Start recording.
Set the time to a location slightly before the point
where you want to start recording, and press the
[REC] key. When you are ready, press the [PLAY] key
to start recording. (p.25)
Punch-in/out – re-recording a portion of a track
If you make a mistake in one part of your recorded perfor-
mance, or if you are not happy with your performance,
you can re-record just a portion of the track without hav-
ing to re-record the entire track from the beginning.
“Punch-in” is the action of switching the song from playback
mode to record mode, and “punch-out” is the action of
switching from record mode back to playback mode.
1 Adjust the recording level of the input source.
Refer to “1. Recording methods” steps 1 4 .
2 Set the monitor output to “automatic input switch-
ing.”
Press the [SYSTEM] key, and use the [CURSOR] up/
down keys to access the “System” page. Press the
[CURSOR] right key to display “MixerSys.” Press the
[CURSOR] right key once again, and use the dial to set
“AutoIn” to “On”
When “AutoIn” is “Off,” you will always hear the input
sound of the track being recorded. If this is turned “On,” the
sound recorded on that track will play back during playback,
and during recording this will automatically switch to the
sound of the assigned input source. (p.62)
