Overdubbing is recording one or more additional tracks on the same
tape, while listening to previously recorded tracks using CUE.
Leave the microphone connected to the channel 1 input. There is no
need to repatch it to channel 2 to record on track 2. You can continue
to use channel 1 because the channel's ASSIGN makes it possible to
send any mixer input to any track of the recorder.
1. Set the channel 1 INPUT ASSIGN switch to the left/MIX position.
2. Turn the channel 1 PAN control all the way to the right/EVEN
position.
3. Check to see that the channel 1 ASSIGN 1/L-2/R switch is still on
(down position).
4. Bring the channel 1 fader to 7.
5. Bring the MASTER 1/L-2/R fader to 7.
6. Press the MONITOR select switch GROUP 2 to turn it on. Press
the GROUP 1 switch, turning it off (Up position).
7. Press the RTZ key, so the tape will rewind to the beginning of the
track 1 recording.
8. Press the RECORD FUNCTION "2" switch. The REC 2 indicator will
start blinking in the meter.
9. Speak into the mic to check to see meter 2 move. If no level or too
low a level is shown, continue to speak into the mic and slowly
turn the channel 1 TRIM control to the right until the meter peaks
at no more than +6.
