Step 3: Recording the first track
In this step, you record the first track while listening to the
rhythm song you have created.
3-1 Adjusting input sensitivity and
recording level
Adjust input sensitivity to match the instrument connected to
the INPUT jack, and adjust the signal level to be recorded on
the track.
1.
Connect an instrument or microphone to an input
jack.
● Connecting a high-impedance instrument such as
guitar or bass
Use the GUITAR/BASS 1 or GUITAR/BASS 2 jack on the
front panel.

For instruments with built-in preamplifier and for high-output
instruments, better results may be obtained with the INPUT
1 - 6 jacks on the rear panel.
● Connecting a microphone
Use one of the INPUT 1 - 6 jacks on the rear panel
(UNBALANCE or BALANCE).
● Connecting a synthesizer or other component with
line-level stereo output
Use two of the INPUT 1 - 6 jacks on the rear panel
(UNBALANCE or BALANCE).

• When something is connected to both the GUITAR/BASS 1
jack on the front panel and INPUT 1 jack on the rear panel,
or the GUITAR/BASS 2 jack on the front panel and INPUT 2
jack on the rear panel, the front panel jack has priority.
• Among balanced and unbalanced connectors on the rear
panel, the unbalanced jack (phone jack marked UNBAL-
ANCE) has priority.
2.
Press the [ON/OFF] key of the input to which the
instrument or microphone is connected, so that
the key lights up.
The [ON/OFF] key serves to activate and deactivate an
28
input. While the key is lit, the input is active.
When a stereo source is connected, press both [ON/OFF]
keys together so that both keys are lit. (Normally, up to two
keys can be activated simultaneously. When a third key is
pressed, the first key goes out.)

When you set the [6TRACK RECORDING] key to ON, all sig-
nals connected to the INPUT 1 - 6 jacks are recorded simul-
taneously. For details, refer to page 47.
3.
While playing the instrument, use the [INPUT]
control to adjust sensitivity.
Adjust the control so that the [PEAK] indicator lights up
occasionally when you play the instrument at the loudest
level.
4.
While playing the instrument, use the [REC LEVEL]
control to adjust the recording level.
Set the recording level as high as possible, but avoid settings
that cause the [CLIP] indicator to light. The current signal
level can be checked by the INPUT column in the lower part
of the display.
