Applying an effect during ping-pong recording
By using the AUX SEND jacks you can apply spatial-type effects such as reverb or chorus dur-
ing ping-pong recording as well. This technique is particularly useful when you wish to ping-
pong in stereo down to two tracks. The following will explain how to apply an effect to the
playback of tracks 1–4 as you ping-pong them in stereo to tracks 3 and 4.
1 Connect the AUX SEND 1 jack to the input
jack of your external effect processor, and
connect the output jacks of the effect proces-
sor to the LINE INPUT jacks 5 and 6. Make
settings on your effect processor so that only
the processed sound is output.
2 Hold down the BUS button, and press REC
SELECT buttons 3 and 4.
The track record indicators (BUS/L, R) will blink.
Make sure that the track record indicators for
tracks 1 and 2 are dark.
3 Turn on the MONITOR SELECT STEREO
switch.
Make sure that the MONITOR SELECT CUE
switch is off.
4 Set the STEREO fader in the 7–8 range.
5 Press the REHE button.
6 Press the SONG SEARCH [ ] button to
locate to the beginning of the song, and
press the PLAY button to begin rehearsal.
7 While listening to your monitor headphones
or monitor speakers, use the input channel
1–4 faders and PAN controls to adjust the mix
balance of tracks 1–4. If necessary, use the EQ
controls to adjust the tone.
When you have finished adjusting the mix bal-
ance, watch the track 3 and 4 track level meters as
you make fine adjustments to the STEREO fader
to set the recording level. (At the ideal level, the –3
segment will light when peaks occur.)
