Advanced Recording Techniques
This chapter introduces you to various advanced recording techniques using the MT400.
Simultaneous Multi-Channel Recording
In addition to recording four tracks individually as explained earlier, you may sometimes wish
to record multiple sound sources to a track or two. (For example, you may wish to record
drum, bass, and rhythm guitar sounds to two tracks in stereo.) To do this, you can mix input
channel signals into a stereo mix via the Stereo bus, and record the mix to two tracks. The
following procedure explains how to mix four sound sources connected to MIC/LINE
INPUTS 1–4 into stereo and record the mix to Tracks 1 and 2.
1
Connect sound sources to MIC/LINE INPUTS
1–4.
You can also mix the sound of a line-level instrument,
such as a synthesizer, connected to STEREO INPUTS
5L/6R or 7L/8R.
2
Set the [INPUT–FLIP] switches on Input
Channels 1–4 to “MIC/LINE (
)”.
3
Set the [REC SELECT] switches on Tracks 1–2
to “L” and “R” respectively.
Tracks 1 and 2 REC SELECT indicators flash.
With the [INPUT-FLIP] switches set to “MIC/LINE
(
)”, Input Channels 1–4 signals are sent to the
Stereo bus. Setting the [REC SELECT] switches to “L”
and “R” selects the L channel and the R channel of the
Stereo bus signal respectively as recording sources. In
this example, the L channel signal is selected for Track
1, and the R channel signal is selected for Track 2.
4
Set the [METER SELECT] switch to “
”.
