Mixdown
When you have finished recording the four tracks, let’s mixdown the recorded tracks to stereo,
and record the mix on a master recorder.
Connecting a master recorder
1
Connect the STEREO OUT jacks of the MD4S
to the input jacks of your master recorder.
Connect the output jacks of your master
recorder to the 2TR IN jacks of the MD4S.
Adjust the mix balance of each track
2
Set the FLIP switches of input channels 1–4 to
the “PB ( )” position.
When the FLIP switches are set to the “PB ( )”
position, the playback sound of the corresponding
track will be sent to the input channel, allowing
you to use the EQ controls to adjust the tone, and
use the PAN control to set the stereo (left/right)
position. The signals of input channels 1–4 (the
track playback sound) will be mixed in stereo, and
output via the ST bus to the STEREO OUT jacks.
3 Turn on the MONITOR SELECT STEREO
switch.
The ST bus will be selected as the signal source for
monitoring. Now you can use headphones or
monitor speakers connected to the PHONES jack
or MONITOR OUT jacks to monitor the same
signal as is being output from the STEREO OUT
jacks.
4 Set the STEREO fader to the 7–8 mark.
5 Press the SONG SEARCH [ ] button to
locate to the beginning of the song (the start
point), and press the PLAY button to begin
playback.
