How To Record A Mix Onto Two Tracks - Tascam PORTASTUDIO 424 MKIII Owner's Manual

How to record a mix onto two tracks simultaneously
Set the PAN control of each channel to the same setting, for
œ
example :
In this example, all instruments plugged into
channels 1-4 will be recorded onto Track 1 or 3.
Lower the MASTER fader to make overall level adjustments once
œ
you have each channel's TRIM and fader level set.
Make sure the INPUT switch of every channel you want to record
œ
is set to MIC/LINE.
∑ You can't record channels 7 and 8 onto a single track.
If you want to record multiple sources onto two tracks, you use the
channel PAN controls to send them to LEFT or RIGHT (or anywhere in
between, if you're making a stereo mix). The track RECORD
FUNCTION switches choose what track the Left and Right mixes will
be recorded on. Note that in this method, the mixer channel number
has nothing to do with what track the instrument winds up on. Any
mixer channel can be panned to any track.
These mixer channels are being sent to the
LEFT, for recording on either Track 1 or Track 3.
These mixer channels are being sent to the RIGHT,
for recording on either Track 2 or Track 4.
