ONITORING
Monitoring determines whether you'll hear signals from the LX20 inputs, or from
tape, through your mixer. There are three main monitor modes: Default, All Input,
and Auto Input.
D
EFAULT
With neither All Input nor Auto Input selected, record-enabling a track monitors
the input signal. Otherwise it monitors the corresponding tape track.
A I
UTO
The AUTO INPUT button determines whether or not a record-enabled track will
monitor from input or tape automatically, as required by the recording context.
Disabling Auto Input is preferred for standard track recording, while enabling Auto
Input works best for overdubbing and punching.
To enable Auto Input, press AUTO INPUT until the Input Mon block shows Auto.
