Step 11. Mixdown
“Mixdown” refers to the process of using the faders and
effects to adjust the sound recorded on each track (→p.36),
and recording the resulting data on a two-channel
recorder (DAT recorder, MD recorder, cassette tape
recorder, etc.) to create a finished song.
1. Recording onto a master tape
1 Check the completed song.
Adjust the level and pan etc. of each track, and play
back to check the song.
2 Connect your external recording device.
Connect the [LINE OUT] jack of the PXR4 to your tape
recorder or MD recorder, etc.
3 Begin mixdown.
Start recording on your external recording device, and
play back the PXR4.
2. Using the sub input
If you want to play along with the playback of the four
tracks, you can use the external input as a sub input that is
added directly to the master button.
1 Connect your external input device to the input jack.
2 Select the sub input setting.
Press the [SYSTEM] key, and use the [CURSOR] up/
down keys to display the “System” page. Then press
the [CURSOR] right key to display the “MixerSys”
page. Now press the [CURSOR] right key to display
the “SubIn” (sub input setting) page. Use the dial to
turn the value indicator “On.”
If the input is monaural, it will be input to the L channel.
3. Creating a stereo file
A completed song that you have finished recording can be
converted into a stereo MP2 song file that can be played
on your computer. A song that is created in this way can
be played back on the PXR4, but there are several limita-
tions on how it can be edited.
