Adding sounds during mixdown
43
—Owner’s Manual
3
Turn on the CUE MIX TO STEREO switch.
The cue mix function will be turned on, and the
CUE MIX indicator in the display will light. With
this setting, the signal of the CUE bus (the MIC/
LINE INPUT jack input signal) will be mixed into
the ST bus.
4
Set the CUE LEVEL controls of input channels
1 and 2 in the 7–8 range.
5
Press the PLAY button to begin playback.
If the MONITOR SELECT STEREO switch is on,
you will be able to hear the track playback in your
headphones or monitor speakers.
6
Play the audio sources that are connected to
MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1 and 2, and use the
GAIN controls of input channels 1 and 2 to
adjust the input level.
Use the stereo level meter to check the input levels
together with the track playback sound. If the level
is too high even when the GAIN control is rotated
all the way to the LINE position, lower the CUE
LEVEL control. If necessary, you can use the CUE
PAN controls to adjust the stereo position. (If you
are adding a stereo source, set the CUE PAN con-
trols of input channels 1 and 2 to far left and far
right respectively.)
7
After you have adjusted the input signal levels
from MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1 and 2, start
recording on your master recorder, and play-
back the MD4S from the beginning of the
song.
When recording is completed, playback the master
recorder to hear the recorded result.
Signal flow when adding external signals during mixdown
Tip: The input signals from LINE INPUT jacks 5–8
can be added to the mix during mixdown. However
since LINE INPUT jacks 5/6 and 7/8 are stereo pairs,
LINE INPUT jacks 5 and 7 will be mixed directly to
the L channel of the ST bus, and LINE INPUT jacks
6 and 8 will be mixed directly to the R channel of the
ST bus. If you wish to use microphones or to adjust
the pan, you should use the MIC/LINE INPUT jacks.
