Adjusting the playback level and recording
level
4
Press the [PLAY] key to begin playback.
5
Raise [CHANNEL] faders 1–5 to adjust the play-
back level of each track. (Refer to p.27)
6
Raise the [MASTER] fader to adjust the recording
level to track 6.
The master level meter R will show the recording
level to track 6.
If you are combining the tracks in stereo to tracks 7
and 8, the [MASTER] fader will adjust the record-
ing level of tracks 7/8, and the master level meters
L/R will show the recording level.
7
Since [CHANNEL] fader 6 will adjust the input
level to INPUT 1, you can record an additional
input sound while you bounce the other tracks. In
this case, raise [CHANNEL] fader 6 to adjust the
input sound. If you are not recording an input
sound, either lower the fader.
If you are combining the tracks in stereo to tracks 7
and 8, [CHANNEL] fader 7/8 will adjust the input
level.
8
For tracks 7/8 (which are not being recorded),
either turn down [CHANNEL] fader 7/8 or press
the [TRACK STATUS] key several times to select
MUTE (indicator off).
If you are combining the tracks in stereo to tracks 7
and 8, track 6 will not be recorded. Either turn
down [CHANNEL] fader 6 or select MUTE.
Applying EQ and effects while you record
9
Apply EQ to tracks 1–5 as desired while you
record. (Refer to p.28)
10 As desired, apply effects to tracks 1–5 and record
them. For details on applying effects refer to "3.
Applying effects to the playback sound" (p.21) or
"2. Applying the internal effect during mixdown"
(p.28)
When [EFFECT ASSIGN] is set to MASTER (Send
Type), the signal sent to the effect will be monau-
ral, so there will be cases in which a stereo effect
cannot be obtained even if a stereo input type
effect is selected.
