MD4 Applications

Recording a Stereo Source

For stereo recording, MD4 can be set to the Stereo recording mode. This provides a total record-
ing time of 74 minutes. See Setting the Recording Mode on page 19 for more information.
The following system example shows two microphones being used for stereo recording. The
actual source, however, could be any stereo device. For example, a stereo cassette deck could be
connected for audio transfer from cassette tape to MD4. With an infinite life span and zero signal
degradation, MD DATA discs are an excellent audio backup and archive media. If required, you
can apply EQ and effects during the transfer.
Up to eight markers can be inserted while recording by pressing the [MARK] button. Markers
make it easy to locate specific points in a song.
In the Stereo recording mode, MD4 uses Tracks 1 and 2. So in the following example, Input
Channel 1 is assigned to Track 1 and Input Channel 2 is assigned to Track 2. See Recording the
First Track on page 13 for information about assigning input channels to tracks. To monitor the
Track 1 and Track 2 signals in stereo, press the [1–3] and [2–4] MONITOR SELECT GROUP
switches. See About Monitoring on page 18 for more information.
