Recorder Setup; Record Input - DigiTech GNX3 User Manual

Recorder Setup

Before you begin recording your first song, you will want to become acquainted with the recorder Setup
functions. Setup functions include: Record Input, Stereo Record, Click Track,Tempo, Pre-Roll, Song Repeat,
Quantize, Record Quality, Auto Stop, Card>PC, and Memory Card Format . These functions dictate how the
recorder works for each song. Each song can have these functions setup in different ways so that you can
customize how the recorder works depending on your needs.

Record Input

The GNX3's recorder has several input routing configurations that are used for getting your guitar, voice,
or external music into the recorder. Each of these is specifically designed for a specific recording purpose
and is outlined below with application tips.
Note: The guitar input is always active regardless of the selected input configuration with the exception
of Re-Amp.
GUITAR
– Select this input when only guitar tracks are being recorded. The Mic and CD inputs are
disabled when this input configuration is selected.
G+CD In
– Select this input for recording a source using the Jam-a-long/CD input. All stereo sources are
summed to mono using this input.
G>1 M>2
– This input records the guitar on one track and the mic input on another. This input records
mono guitar on the first track, and the mic input on the second track when both tracks are armed before
recording begins. This input is great for guitarist/singers who like to sing as they play. This input can also
be used for recording stereo signals into the GNX3's recorder. By properly setting the Mic Level and
using a 1/4" to XLR impedance (DI) box, you can run one side of the stereo signal into the Guitar input
and the other side through the XLR Mic input. These two signals are recorded on separate tracks,
preserving the left/right stereo image. Once the tracks are recorded, you have to pan each of the tracks
left and right to hear them in stereo.
G+MICDDRY
– Select this input when you want to record a dry, unprocessed vocal or acoustic instrument
into the GNX3's recorder. Both the guitar and mic are recorded on the same track(s) armed for
recording.
G+MICREV
– This input routes the mic input through the reverb of the GNX3's current preset. You can
modify reverb settings by editing the reverb parameters of the preset (see section Editing a Preset). If the
reverb is off in the current preset, the effect is not heard. Both the guitar and mic are recorded on the
same track(s) armed for recording.
G+MICMOD
– Select this input to route the mic input through the Chorus/Mod, Delay, and Reverb
modules of the GNX3's current preset. You can modify the chorus/mod, delay, and reverb settings by
editing these parameters within the current preset (see section Editing a Preset). If these effects are
turned off in the current preset, the effects are not heard. Both the guitar and mic are recorded on the
same track(s) armed for recording.
G+MIC FX
– Select this input to route the mic input through the all of the effects, including amp
modeling, of the GNX3's current preset. You can modify the effect and amp modeling settings by editing
the parameters of the preset (see section Editing a Preset). Both guitar and mic are recorded on the same
track(s) armed for recording.
