The use of backing tracks has become common in today’s concerts as fans expect to hear the full orches- tration and backing vocals of their favorite songs. The ProD8 provides an effective means to connect two tape recorders via the dual A/B merged inputs on each channel. Simply place the back-up recorder on mute and sync both machines together. -
