From recording to creating
a master track
Here, we will try multitrack recording. In the
following example, we will use an electric
guitar to record a rhythm guitar part on track 1
and a lead guitar part on track 2. Then, we will
use the built-in mic to record a voice on track
3. Finally, we will mix the tracks down.
In this section, we assume that you have
already followed the instructions in “Playback
and mixing” to connect monitoring equipment
and install the SD card.
TIP
This example uses the built-in mic for
recording vocals, but you could also connect
an external mic to the INPUT A or INPUT B
connector on the rear panel and record it.
