  • Page 27: Step 2: Overdubbing

    Step 2: Overdubbing “Overdubbing” is the process of recording additional performances on other tracks while you listen to the previously-recorded performance or rhythm. For this example we’ll overdub an additional performance on guitar or keyboard while listening to the performance you recorded in Step 1. We’ll also explain how to record your keyboard in stereo, and how to record on a virtual track.

For our example, we will place insert effect 1 between [INPUT 5] jack and mixer channel 5, and between [INPUT 6] jack and mixer channel 6.

  • Page 34: Step 3: Mixdown

    Step 3: Mixdown “Mixdown” is the process of applying insert effects, master effects, and EQ etc. to the sound of each track to adjust the overall balance, and combining everything into two-track stereo data. 1. Apply effects Here’s how to assign an insert effect to a mixer channel so that the effect is applied to the playback of the track.

  • Page 35: Apply Eq (Equalizer)

    For example, the dialog box shown above portrays the following set- tings. The upper left indicates track channel 3 → effect 1 → mixer channel 3. This means that the track 3 audio signal will be processed by effect 1, and sent to mixer channel 3.

  • Page 36: Apply Master Effects

    3. Apply master effects Here’s how you can apply master effects to the desired track channels. The D1600mkII contains two master effects, letting you apply two differ- ent effects simultaneously. This means that you can simulate complex acoustic spaces that could not be created by a single effect. To regulate the amount of the master effects, adjust the send and return controls.
  • Page 37 5. While you listen to the song, access the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX] “MstEff1” tab page. Watch the level meter in the screen, and adjust the return level so that “CLP” does not appear. 6. When you have finished making adjustments, press the [STOP] key. Select master effect 2, and make send and return settings 1.

  • Page 38: Step 4: Mastering

    Step 4: Mastering “Mastering” is the process of applying a final effect and EQ to the mixed- down song in order to make the overall volume and tone consistent. We’ll also explain how you can use the CD-R/RW drive to create an au- dio CD of your song.

  • Page 39: Create The Master Track

    2. Create the master track When you create an audio CD, the data of track 1 and track 2 is what will be written to the CD. You will create the master track by combining the song data into tracks 1 and 2.

  • Page 40: Write Your Song To A Cd

    3. Access the [RECORD] “Bounce” tab page, and set “BounceMode” to “16Tr→2Tr”. “16Tr→2Tr” means that sixteen tracks will be bounced to two tracks. 4.
