Step 2: Overdubbing; Record A Guitar - Korg D1600mkII Owner's Manual

Step 2: Overdubbing

"Overdubbing" is the process of recording additional performances on
other tracks while you listen to the previously-recorded performance or
rhythm.
For this example we'll overdub an additional performance on guitar or
keyboard while listening to the performance you recorded in Step 1.
We'll also explain how to record your keyboard in stereo, and how to
record on a virtual track. We will also apply an effect to your keyboard.

1. Record a guitar

While listening to the performance you recorded in Step 1, you can play
a guitar phrases, riffs, or solos, and record them. In this example we'll
overdub on track 7.
Assign the input to a mixer channel
Assign the input of the guitar connected to INPUT 8 to mixer channel 7.
1. Press the [INPUT/TUNER] key to access the [INPUT/TUNER] "Ch
1–8" tab page.
2. Select the "Ch 7" icon and use the [VALUE] dial to select "INPUT 8."
Check the level
When recording on more than one track, you don't have to readjust the
level each time if you are playing the same instrument in the same state;
if so, proceed to the next step. Adjust the level only if you have switched
sounds or instruments.
1. Press the track 7 [TRACK STATUS] key to select INPUT (LED lit
orange).
2. In the [METER/TRACK VIEW] page, select "PreFaderLev."
3. Turn the INPUT 8 [TRIM] knob while watching the level meter.
Check the sound
1. Set the [CHANNEL 7] fader to unity gain (0 dB).
2. In the [SOLO/MONITOR] "Monitor" tab page, make sure that the
"MasterLR" button is "On."
3. While playing your guitar, slowly raise the [MASTER] fader and
check the sound in your headphones, etc.
[TRACK STATUS] key settings
You'll need to select the appropriate status for the recording track, play-
back track, and other tracks.
1. Press the track 7 [TRACK STATUS] key to select REC (LED lit red).
2. Press the track 8 [TRACK STATUS] key to select PLAY (LED lit
green).
3. Press the [TRACK STATUS] keys of the other tracks to select MUTE
(LED dark).
