Tape Cue Monitor System
The TAPE CUE mix and MONITOR switches are
also crucial for successful multitrack recording,
because they control what you hear in the
headpnones. This CUE mix is totally independent
from the Main Mix going to tape. If you don't use
the CUE mix, you run the risk of accidentally
"bouncing tracks" every time you record new
material.
The 4 TAPE CUE controls act like a separate 4x1
mixer, dedicated solely to enabling you to hear
playback from the multitrack recorder in your
headphones. The settings of these controls don’t
affect the mix going to tape. When the
EFFECT/CUE switch is set to the center position
(EFFECT 2/CUE), the EFFECT 2/TAPE CUE switch
is set to TAPE CUE, the TAPE CUE of the tracks
you want to hear are turned clockwise, and the
MONITOR LEVEL is turned up, you can hear the
tape playback in the headphones and MONITOR
outputs. You can adjust the monitor level of each
track by adjusting its TAPE CUE control. The
channels of the Main Mix remain free to handle
external inputs for recording.
If you can hear tape playback in your headphones
when TAPE CUE is off (in the left position), it
means you're hearing tape through the Main Mix.
This is correct for mixdown and bouncing tracks,
but during overdubbing it can cause previous
tracks to be mixed together with new tracks,
instead of each part remaining separate. Use the
TAPE CUE to avoid this.
The MONITOR SELECT LINE OUT switch affects
whether you will hear the off-tape signal (OFF), or
the LINE OUT signals in MONO or stereo (L-R).
When you are recording, you should set this
switch to OFF, the EFFECT/CUE switch to EFFECT
2/CUE, and the EFFECT 2/TAPE CUE switch to
TAPE CUE.
