4. Adjusting the Input level
Set the input selector switch to the MIC/LINE
position.
Push input fader 2 up to about “7”.
Start playing the bass guitar, and slide gain control

“+3” indicator on the level meter second from the
left flashes occasionally on the sound peaks.

characteristics
Operate the equalizer controls for channel 2 to get
the desired tone. (If you plan to ping-pong this track

cording to the reading on the meter second from
the left.

Press the PAUSE switch to start the tape, and set
the sound balance of the bass guitar and drums.
If necessary, control the combined volume level
with the PHONES volume control. Now, using
MONITOR PAN controls 1 and 2, decide the left/
right stereo positioning of the two tracks. (During
this, the bass guitar will be recorded on track 2.)
After you have adjusted the monitor levels and pans
to your satisfaction, rewind the tape and set the
recorder into the REC PAUSE mode.
7. Recording
Press the PAUSE switch to start recording. While
monitoring through headphones, the bass player
should play along in synch with the drum track.
When the musical segment is over, stop and rewind
the tape.
