Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS12
Overdubbing
“Overdubbing” is a recording operation in which you record another part in a new track while monitoring the
playback sound from tracks that have already been recorded. In this example, we overdub a bass guitar sound on
track 3 while listening to the rhythm machine recorded on tracks 1 and 2.

The diagram below shows a typical signal flow of overdubbing in track 3 while monitoring tracks 1/2.

Overdubbing signal flow
1

[INPUT GAIN]
controls to
physical track 3 of the recorder section.
2
. Press the
[RECORD SELECT]
key 3 on the top panel to place track 3 in recording ready status.
3
Output signals from tracks 1–3 are directed to TRACK MIX channels 1–3 of the mixer section.
4
You may adjust the level and pan settings of the TRACK MIX channel 1–3 signals using channel faders 1–3
and
[PAN]
controls 1–3 on the top panel.
5
Signals that passed through the channel faders and the
[PAN]
controls are mixed into a stereo signal, then
routed to the
[MASTER]
fader.
6
The signal adjusted by the
[MASTER]
fader for the output level is output from the MASTER OUT jacks and
the OPTICAL OUT jacks.
