Advanced recording techniques
—Owner’s Manual
In the following, we will give an example of mixing previously-recorded tracks 1–4 into a ste-
reo pair, and ping-pong recording them to tracks 3 and 4.
1
Set the FLIP switches of input channels 1–4 to
“PB (
).”
The playback sound of tracks 1–4 will be sent via
the input channels to the ST bus.
2
While holding down the BUS button, press
REC SELECT buttons 3 and 4.
The ST bus will be selected as the recording source
for tracks 3 and 4, and the track record indicators
(BUS/L, R) will blink.
Make sure that the track record indicators for
tracks 1 and 2 are dark.
3
Turn on the MONITOR SELECT STEREO
switch.
The ST bus will be selected as the signal source for
monitoring, allowing you to monitor the playback
sound of tracks 1–4.
Make sure that the MONITOR SELECT CUE
switch is off.
4
Set the STEREO fader in the 7–8 range.
5
Press the SONG SEARCH [
] button to
locate to the beginning of the song.
6
Press the REHE button, and then press the
PLAY button to begin rehearsing the ping-
pong recording.
7
While listening to your monitoring head-
phones or monitor speakers, use the faders
and PAN controls of input channels 1–4 to
adjust the mix balance of tracks 1–4. As nec-
essary, use the EQ controls to adjust the tone.
When you finish adjusting the mix balance, watch
the track level meters of tracks 3 and 4 as you
adjust the STEREO fader to set the recording level.
(At the ideal level, the –3 segment of the meter will
light at the peaks.)

Tip: If you use LINE INPUT jacks 5–8, the audio
sources connected to LINE INPUT jacks 5–8 can be
added to tracks 1–4 as you ping-pong record. The
input level of LINE INPUT jacks 5–8 can be adjusted
by the LEVEL controls 5/6 and 7/8.
