Tips and Sugg
estions
•
Anyone can have fun making CD recordings and sharing them with family and friends. You do not
have to be a professional musician to record your own CD. If you are not a great player, you can first
record your song using the Concert Performer’s Easy Recorder
. You can record the song slowly and
speed it up later. Y
ou can even re-record it if you make a mistake. Advanced users can edit mistakes
and add extra tracks in the Advanced Recorder. When your song is perfect, set the CD to Record
and press Play on the Recorder. Y
our perfected performance will be recorded to the CD.
•
If you want to begin your CD recording with live playing or vocals, you will need to press the PLAY
button (F5) to manually start the recording. (See steps #4 and #5 above). If you want to begin with
a Style or Recording, press the Play or Start button in the corresponding areas of the panel.
•
Vocals can be sung along with the Easy/Advanced Recorded songs and/or live keyboard performances
while recording onto the CD. In other words, you can play up to a 16-part sequence (from the Easy/
Advanced Recorder), play along with the sequence on the keyboard, and sing into the microphone
at the same time. All of this will be recorded to the CD.
•
The Style Start/Stop and Recorder Play/Stop functions are independent from the CD Record Start/
Stop functions. You can start and stop Styles and Recordings while continuing to record to CD.
•
While recording to CD, the panel of the Concert Performers operates normally. Y
ou can add and
change sounds, balance the volumes, and change accompaniment styles during your CD recording.
Highlight a Part or Style field with the L and R buttons, then turn the Dial to change the volume.
Press any SOUND category button to change the sound for a highlighted part. Press any STYLE
category button to change the Style.
•
You can also change Registrations while recording to CD. This is a quick and easy way to make lots
of changes to sounds and styles while recording to CD.
•
Advanced Users with computer sequencers can even record an external sequence into the CD using
the Concert Performer’s internal sounds.
•
It may take a few experimental recordings to get volumes mixes and settings perfected for a good
result. This is especially true if you plan to sing and play or play “live” along with the Easy/Advanced
Recorder.
