THE RECORDING PROCESS

For details pertaining to the operation of MT100lI controls, please refer to page 3, "MT100II CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS".
Recording with the MT100II is a very simple process. All you need is the MT100II, a pair of monitor headphones, and an instrument,
microphone, or other signal source.
The multitrack recording process can be basically broken down into the following steps:
1. Record the First Track.
a) Select channel-to-track assignment for input source.
b) Set Record Level.
c) Record.
2. Overdub on the Remaining Tracks.
a) Select channel-to-track assignment for each overdub.
b) Set records level for each overdub.
c) Record the overdub.
3. Track Combining.
a) If necessary, use "ping pong" technique to combine tracks and clear them for additional overdubs.
4. Mixdown.
a) Set up for monitoring the mix.
b) Set up a rough mix and add effects.
c) Finalize and rehearse the mix.
d) Connect the MT100II STEREO OUT jacks to a stereo casette recorder.
e) Record (from the MT100II to the stereo cassette recorder).
These steps (and what the recording terms mean) will be described in detail below, so its a good idea to read through the following
sections in sequence in order to get a clear picture of the overall recording process.
