Check the recording level
As when recording your guitar, adjusting the level is important
for vocals as well. The diff erence is that in the case of vocals, it's
diffi cult to maintain a consistent distance to the mic, meaning that
the volume will change every time you face the mic. The volume is
also aff ected by the condition of the person who is singing. These
factors make it hard to get a consistent vocal recording.
The process of adjusting the level
is the same as when recording your
guitar; set the AUDIO IN slider to
the maximum position, and use the
rear panel LEVEL slider to adjust
the recording level.
The volume of a vocal will tend to change signifi cantly, so it's best
to be cautious, and set the level a bit lower than you otherwise
would.
Set the AUDIO IN slider to
the maximum position.
Use the LEVEL knob to
adjust the recording
level.
The vocal volume will change
widely, so set the level com-
fortably below the maximum
at the right edge.

When recording a guitar or vocal, you should set the AUDIO IN slider
to the maximum position in order to get the best sound. But if the
AUDIO IN slider is raised, any noise from the mic or guitar connected
to the JUNO-G will always be mixed into the output of the JUNO-G,
so it's best to keep the AUDIO IN slider lowered unless you're actually
recording. If you notice unwanted noise coming from the JUNO-G,
check the AUDIO IN slider fi rst!

Start recording!
Since we're going to record the vocal on audio track 2, use the
[Down cursor] button to select track "2."
Return to the beginning of the song ([STOP]
+ [BWD] button), and then press the [REC]
button to enter standby mode; the metro-
nome will begin sounding.
As when recording the guitar, we'll be recording just the sound
from an external source, so set Audio Rec Mode to "SOLO."
Since we're recording the mic in mono, set Audio Rec Channel
to "MONO."
Turn the dial to select
"SOLO."
Press the [PLAY] button to start recording.
When you've fi nished singing, press the
[STOP] button to stop.
In the same way as when you fi nished recording the guitar part,
press the [ASSIGN] button if you're satisfi ed with your perfor-
mance. If you're not satisfi ed, press the [UNLOAD] button, and
you'll be asked whether you really want to erase the recording;
press the [EXEC] button to discard your performance.
