What to do About Low-Level Input Signals
Occasionally, you may have a source which has a very
low input level, such as when using a large diaphragm
dynamic mic to record a soft-spoken vocalist. Use the
steps below to provide extra gain to low-level inputs:
1. Turn the INPUT sensitivity knob all the way
clockwise.
2. Press the input SELECT button. There are two
settings in the Input Mixer page that can provide
additional recording signal gain:
ATT (Attenuation):
In addition to the Input Sensitivity knob used in Step 1,
this can provide attenuation—a reduction in volume—or
up to 6 dB of additional gain.
Fader:
This is the fader for the Input Mixer. Since all input
sources pass through the input fader before going to the
recorder, the position of this fader will determine
recording levels. The position of this fader defaults to
100, which corresponds to unity gain. This fader can be
increased up to 127.
If you are using the fader to control the level of the input
source, make sure that the [FADER/MUTE] is set to
"IN."
Chapter 4 Recording Operations
When You Are Recording in Stereo
When recording to tracks with Channel Link (p. 77) on, it
is best to turn Channel Link on for the inputs as well. If
you are recording independent mono signals to a linked
track, you will need to set the pan for each input channel.
After Step 3, perform the procedure described below.
1. Press the SELECT button for the input you want
assigned to the track.
2. Press [F1 (MIX)]. If "MIX" does not appear in the
display, first press [PAGE] until "MIX" is displayed,
then press [F1 (MIX)]. Or, you can use [
[
], and [
] to move the cursor to "MIX."
3. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the pan setting.

When this is set to "On," each input is sent to the MIX
bus. Keep this setting "On" when you want to simply
mix the inputs without recording them.
* When you are recording inputs, it is best to turn the MIX
bus OFF for all of your input channels. You will then be
monitoring your source audio via your recording tracks,
and not both from your recording tracks and from the
original inputs!
Mix Send Pan
This adjusts the pan setting (L63-R63) of the signal
sent to the MIX bus and the RECORDING bus.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for all inputs you want to
make pan settings on. If you are recording a mono
source to a mono track, it is not necessary to change
the pan setting.
5. When you're done, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return
to the Playlist display.
