Recording playback and input
sounds together (overdubbing)
When an audio le is playing back, you can
record the playback sound together with the
input sound. This creates a new le and does not
overwrite the playback le.
Adjust the levels of the input and playback
sounds
Before recording the input and playback sounds
together, you should carefully balance their
levels.
1 Turn input monitoring ON.
This allows you to listen to the input sound
even if the unit is not recording or in recording
standby. (See “Using input monitoring
(MONITOR)” on page 41.)
2 Select the audio file that you want to record,
and press the PLAY/PAUSE (¥/π ) key to start
playback.
3 Adjust the playback and input signals so that the
PEAK indicator does not light. (See “Adjusting
the playback volume” on page 36.)
NOTE
You cannot change the input monitoring setting •
during recording or when in recording standby.
When input monitoring is ON (and during overdub •
recording) the PEAK indicator shows the maximum
level of the combined input and playback signals.
