6. Adjusting level balance and equalization
characteristics
Adjust channel faders 1 ~4 to achieve the desired
recording level balance.
Adjust the equalizers for 1~4 to obtain the desired
sound character for each individual channel. (If
you’re thinking of ping-ponging these tracks after-
wards, it’s a good idea to add a little boost on the
HIGH EQ because high frequencies can be slightly
diminished during the ping-pong re-recording
process).
Set the effect level for each channel with the AUX
controls. Then, adjust the overall mix of effect
signal to input signal with the AUX MASTER SEND
control.
If necessary, go over steps t o several times
until everything is just right.
Adjust the master recording level with the MASTER
fader, setting it at the point where the “+3” in-
dicator on the far left level meter flashes occa-
sionally on the sound.peaks.

7. Recording
Push the PAUSE switch to start recording. Just
before the musician starts playing, be sure to
“count” out loud to help you get the timing right
on the other tracks during overdubbing later on.
When the music sequence is over, press the STOP
switch to stop the recording. Then, press the REW
switch, and the tape will rewind to a point just
before the beginning
“999” on the tape counter
and stop.
