Recording Multiple Inputs To A Single Mono Track - Roland VXpanded VS-880 Application Manual

Recording Multiple Inputs To A Single Mono Track

What if you want to record multiple microphones to a single track of the VS-880 simultaneously? For
example, maybe you have three background vocalists that you wish to record on a single track using
individual microphones for each one.
You would first connect the three microphones to three inputs of the VS-880. We will use inputs 1-3. You
will select these inputs to faders 1-3 of the VS-880, select the correct Mixer mode, select each channel to
record onto Tr. 1-1, adjust their individual levels, and then record all three vocalists on Tr. 1-1.

1. Set the Mixer to INPUT MIX mode ([SHIFT] + [SELECT]).

9. Press the [STATUS] button for Track 1 until it is flashing red (record ready mode).
10. Press [REC] followed by [PLAY]. All three microphones will now be recording on Track 1.
