Mixing multiple channels as you record
By combining multiple parts into a pair of tracks, you can record more than four parts on the
MD4S. For example if you have recorded drums, bass, and rhythm guitar, you can re-record
these three parts in stereo onto two tracks, and then record two other parts on the remaining
two tracks.
To do this, you will mix the signals of the input channels to the ST bus and record them on
either one or two tracks..
As an example, the following will explain how four audio sources connected to MIC/LINE
INPUT jacks 1–4 can be mixed in stereo and recorded onto tracks 1 and 2.
