From recording to mastering
Next, we will make a multitrack recording.
In the following example, we will use a guitar to
record a rhythm guitar part on track 1 and a lead
guitar part on track 2. Then, we will use the built-in
mic to record singing on track 3. Finally, we will mix
the tracks down to a stereo track.
We assume that you have already followed the
instructions in the previous “Playback and mixing”
section and that you have already connected
headphones and installed an SD card.
TIP
This example uses the built-in mic for recording
vocals, but you could also connect an external mic
to an
INPUT A/B
connector on the back of the unit
and record with it instead.
