Recording while an effect is inserted
When recording guitar or vocals, it will often be convenient
to insert an effect such as a guitar multi or a vocal multi.
This type of Òwet recordingÓ can now be done in
INPUT TRACK.
Here we will explain the procedure for connecting a guitar
to input 1, using a guitar multi Patch to apply stereo effects,
and recording the result to tracks 1 and 2.
1. Connect a guitar to input 1.
< When connecting a guitar >
In order to record the guitar with the best possible sound
quality, please use an active-type guitar. Alternatively, use
a direct box (such as the BOSS DI-1) or a compact-type
effect unit.
In this case, the compact effect unit will be used to lower
the impedance. Thus, turn the power on and the effect off
if you do not need to use the effect.
2. Make sure that the mixer mode is INPUT TRACK.If it
is INPUT MIX/TRACK MIX, press [SHIFT]+[SELECT].
3. Press track 1 [CH EDIT].
4. Hold down [SHIFT] and press track 1 [Input/Buss(CH
EDIT)].
5. Select the input which will be recorded onto track 1.
Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. For this example, select
INPUT-1.
6. Hold down [SHIFT] and press track 7 [EFFECT-1(CH
EDIT)].
7. Select how you wish to use the effect. Rotate the
TIME/VALUE dial. For this example, select InsertL.
