Making the first recording
Before beginning the following recording
procedures, prepare your monitors
(headphones), connect a recording source to
an input and assign that input as the recording
source for a track.
1 Press the REC key of the track to record
on. The REC indicator blinks red (that
status is called “record standby”). A
maximum of two tracks can be recorded
simultaneously. If you press a different
REC key when the REC indicators of
two tracks are already blinking, the
track that was put into record standby
first will become inactive and the REC
indicator will turn off.
For example, if you press the REC keys
for TRACK 1, TRACK 2 and TRACK 3 in
that order, TRACK 1, which was pressed
first, will no longer be in record standby,
but TRACK 2 and TRACK 3, which were
pressed afterwards, will be in record
standby.
2 Set the recording level. Turn the (INPUT
A or INPUT B) TRIM knob to adjust the
input level of the input channel. Watch
the display meters and the OL indicator
above and to the left of the TRIM knob
while setting the level suitably. At the
same time, confirm that sound heard
from the headphones or the monitor
system is not distorted.
NOTE
The level meter of the track that has •
an input signal assigned to it shows the
input level after the application of input
EQ. Therefore, when using input EQ, you
should also watch the level meter of the
track that has the affected input signal
assigned to it.
The • OL indicator lights if the input is too
loud.
If the • OL indicator stays lit even when
you lower the TRIM knob, lower the
output level on the signal source
connected to the input.

pressing and holding the record (–) key.
Recording starts and the record (–)
key indicator lights red. The track REC
indicator changes from blinking to lit.
