Recording and mastering
In this section we will practice multitrack recording. In the
following example, we will explain how to record a rhythm
guitar part with an electric guitar to track 1 and a lead guitar
part to track 2. Then, we will use the built-in microphone to
record vocals to track 3. Finally, we will mix down the tracks to
stereo.
In this section, we assume that you have already followed
the instructions in the previous section, and that you have
connected monitoring equipment, started the unit and installed
the SD card.
TIP
This example uses the built-in mic for recording vocals, but
you could also connect an external mic to the
INPUT A
or
INPUT B
connector on the rear panel and record with it.
