IN DEPTH: RECORDING TRACKS
Prepare to Record a New Loop
1. Plug your instrument into either the L or R
INPUT jacks, or both if recording two separate
instruments or if recording in stereo.
2. To monitor your recording, connect one or
both of the L and R OUTPUT jacks or the
MONITOR OUT jack to a mixer or amp. You
can also plug headphones into the
HEADPHONES jack.
3. Play your instrument(s) and adjust the
INPUT LEVEL knob(s) so that the associated
CLIP LED does not light or just barely lights
on your loudest notes. The trick to achieving
the best quality digital audio is to record the
hottest possible signal without clipping the
A/D converter. You do not want to record a
signal that is too low in volume or a signal
that clips very often… unless that is the
sound you are going for!
4. If recording only one input, turn down the
unused channel’s INPUT LEVEL knob fully to
reduce hiss from the unused channel.
5. Use the DRY OUTPUT faders and pan knobs
to adjust the level and stereo location of
the two input signals when monitoring.
6. If using either Headphones or the MONITOR
OUT jacks, a separate volume control is
available just for these outputs. The
HEADPHONES LVL knob adjusts the volume
for both the Headphones output and the
MONITOR OUT jack.
7. The setting of the DRY OUTPUT faders and
pan knobs have no effect on what is actually
recorded. Only the INPUT LEVEL knobs have
any bearing on what is recorded.
Non-Quantize vs. Quantize Loop Recording
 REMINDER: Press the QUANTIZE button to
toggle between Quantize and Non-Quantize
modes. When the QUANTIZE button is lit,
you are in Quantize mode.
In Non-Quantize Mode, the loop length is set by
the user (i.e. manually). In Quantize Mode, the
loop length is determined by the number of
bars you wish to record, the beats per bar
setting (found in the BARS/BEATS page), and
the current tempo.
Non-Quantize Mode
The loop length consists of the time between
pressing RECORD to begin recording a loop and
pressing either the RECORD or PLAY footswitches
to end the loop. The 95000 begins recording
immediately upon pressing RECORD and ends
loop recording immediately when you press
either the RECORD or PLAY footswitch.
Quantize Mode
The 95000 automatically quantizes the loop
length to the nearest bar. A bar may be 1-8
beats in length. The default length is 4 beats.
Upon pressing the RECORD button, the 95000
resets the CLIX metronome to beat 1.
If enabled, the Count-In begins and the display
shows the Count-In bars with a minus sign in
front of the bar number. No recording takes
place during Count-In.
 REMINDER: You can set the Count-In length
from 1-8 bars or disable Count-In altogether
by setting the Count-In length to OF (Off).
The 95000 starts recording after the Count-In.
To hear the CLIX metronome you must monitor
through either MONITOR OUT or headphones and
make sure both the CLIX LVL and HEADPHONE LVL
knobs are turned up to an appropriate level.
Pressing the PLAY or RECORD footswitches ends
the loop—but not necessarily at the exact
moment you press either footswitch. Instead,
the 95000 truncates the loop’s length to the
end of the previous bar if PLAY or RECORD are
pressed within the first 2 beats of the current
bar. When PLAY or RECORD are pressed after
the 2nd beat, the 95000 will continue recording
to the end of the current bar and then end the
loop. You can record as few as 1 bar or as many
as the microSDHC card will allow.
The CLIX metronome’s tempo can be adjusted
using the TEMPO slider or by pressing the TAP
button at least twice. It is best to adjust the
tempo while in Record-Ready mode, before
pressing the RECORD footswitch.
