Operating The Mdr6 - Samson mdr6 Owner's Manual

Using The HDM (Continued)
Overdubbing Using HDM
Now that you have recorded a basic rhythm track you can overdub additional tracks using MDR6's HDM. For this
example, we'll overdub a vocal track using a microphone. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect the output from your computer sound card to the MDR6's 2-Track In and then connect the MDR6's
2-Track Output to the input of the sound card.
2. Connect a microphone to the MDR6's Channel 1 microphone input and set a proper level using the GAIN
control and peak LED.
3. Engage the HDM switch. The input channel's REC LED will light dimly indicating the channel can be
assigned to the RECORD bus.
4. Press the RECORD switch on the MDR6's Channel 1. The input channel's REC LED will flash indicating the
channel is assigned to the RECORD bus.
5. Raise the Channel 1 fader to the nominal area (0 ).
6. Now, test your listening level by pressing PLAY on your hard disk recorder and by slowly raising the 2
TRACK to MIX level control until you have set a comfortable listening level. Use the 2 TRACK to MIX and
CONTROL ROOM/HEADPHONE level controls to set a good balance between the hard disk recorder and
the input.
7. Select the record enable on the track you are recording to on your hard disk recorder and set a level as
described in your software manual.
8. Press REC/PLAY on your hard disk recorder and record your vocal track.
NOTE: The RECORD bus is stereo, therefore the input channels PAN and BALANCE controls will determine how
much signal is sent to the LEFT or RIGHT
2-TRACK output. If you want an input channels signal to send only to the LEFT RECORD bus, then set the PAN
control all the way to the left. If you want an input channels signal to send only to the RIGHT RECORD bus, then
set the PAN control all the way to the right.
