Multitrack recording

See the "Connections" chapter for information on how to connect the Studio 12R to an
ADAT or other multitrack recorder.
In the most common setup, the ADAT is patched into the INSERT points of each channel.
It receives signal directly from the [TRIM] control; no other controls will affect the level
being recorded to tape.

Tracking/Overdubbing

1. Put the desired tracks of the ADAT into record ready mode.
Press "Auto Input Monitor" or "All Input Monitor" depending
on your situation (see the ADAT manual for more information).
2. With the signal source (microphone or line input) active, slowly
increase the [TRIM] level of each input while watching the
ADAT meter until the top red segment comes on. Then turn
down the trim level so that the red LED does not light.
3. Set the EQ, aux, and channel faders for the desired control room
mix. Note that none of these settings will affect the signal going
to the ADAT.
4. For overdubbing, put the original tracks into safe mode. These
tracks will play back through the same channels they were
recorded on.
5. If necessary, repatch the microphone or line inputs to the next
channels you want to record. NOTE: the ADAT and ADAT-XT
can automatically "normal" the input to track 1 to any odd-
numbered track, and the input to track 2 to any even-numbered
track. Check the manual of the ADAT or XT for more
information.
