Adding sounds during mixdown
The mixer section of the MD4S features an “in-line” design that can simultaneously handle
both the input signal from the MIC/LINE INPUT jack and the playback sound from the disk.
For example, this allows you to add external input signals during mixdown. This is conve-
nient, for example, when you wish to layer some sound effects onto the introduction of a song
that you completed on the MD4S.
In the following, we will give an example of how audio sources connected to MIC/LINE
INPUT jacks 1 and 2 can be added during mixdown.
1 Make preparations for mixdown.
See “Mixdown” on page 32, adjust the mix balance
of each track, and complete the steps up until you
are ready to mixdown (steps
1–6).
2 Connect your audio sources to MIC/LINE
INPUT jacks 1 and 2.
When the FLIP switch of the input channel is in
the “PB ( )” position, the tape playback sound
will be set to the ST bus, and the input signal from
the MIC/LINE INPUT jack will be sent via the
CUE PAN/LEVEL control to the CUE bus. In this
case, the input signals from MIC/LINE INPUT
jacks 1 and 2 will be sent via the CUE PAN/LEVEL
controls of input channels 1 and 2 to the CUE bus.
