5.
Adjust the volume level, panning, equalization, and other settings for each track.
6.
If you run out of empty tracks, you can merge the contents of two or more tracks onto a different track using track bouncing
(p. 64).
7.
Mix down the tracks to your stereo recorder to make a master tape. Or, bounce down the tracks to a stereo track within the VS-
1680 to make your own original CD using an optional Roland VS-CDRII recorder.
Connecting Instruments
1.
Pull the Master fader all the way down.
2.
Connect instruments and microphones to the desired INPUT jacks.
The INPUT 8 jack and the GUITAR (Hi-Z) jack cannot be used simultaneously. The GUITAR (Hi-Z) jack takes priority when
connections are made to both jacks at the same time. If you wish to use the INPUT 8 jack, make sure nothing is plugged into the
GUITAR (Hi-Z) jack.
Guitar (Hi-Z) (See Appendices, p. 63)
* The pin assignment for the XLR type connectors is as shown below. Before making any connections, make sure this pin assignment is
compatible with all of your other devices.

• Change the position of the microphones.
• Move the microphones farther from the speakers.
• Lower the volume levels.
