Setting up to overdub
To prepare for overdubbing, set the unit according to
the following guidelines.
REC indicator settings
Turn OFF the
•
REC
indicators of already recorded
tracks.
Press the
•
REC
key on the track that you want to
overdub to put it into record standby (
REC
indicator
blinking).
With these settings, if you put the unit into record
mode, the already recorded track begins playing
back as recording starts on the overdub track.
Track pan and level settings
Use the
LEVEL
and
PAN
knobs of already recorded
tracks to adjust their level and stereo positions for
monitoring during overdubbing.
Input settings
Use the procedures described earlier in this chapter
to assign input sources to tracks for recording.
Rehearsal
When finished making settings, press the playback
(
Á
) key to start playback.
Just as though you were recording, you can monitor
the sound of already recorded tracks playing back
and the input source on the track for recording,
allowing you to check the monitor balance and
volume.
