Recording Equipment - Digital Multitracker User Manual

31
This section describes the basic REC/PLAY procedures in the “DIRECT” recording mode, which is the easiest recording
procedure and also provides recordings that most closely resemble the original. Hints and tips to
successfully operate the VF160EX are included according to the work flow, ranging from the actual recording to mix
down process. Both experienced and novice users of multitracker should try this process so as to learn the VF160EX
operations. The following description assumes that the VF160EX has been started up without any recordings.
Recording to One Track
Here, we will record to track 1 of the recorder. Check to see that the channel faders of ch1-16 and the master fader
are set to “-∞” (completely down) and that [TRIM] A to H are set to LINE position (fully turn to left).
Also use (connect) a headphone or monitor speakers to monitor the sound.
Instructions for DIRECT Record
DIRECT Recording
The figure on the right shows the relations between input channels
and recording tracks in the DIRECT recording mode. You can see that
up to 8 input channel signals can be recorded simultaneously.
WARNING!
* It is also possible to simultaneously record 16 tracks.
However, there will be 2 consecutive tracks on which the same
sound is recorded.
* The channel with the ORANGE light ON ([INPUT]) from among
ch9-16 of the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] keys cannot output the audio
sound on the tracks corresponding to 9-16, therefore, recording
will be prohibited.
As a result, the READY state cannot be established with the
[DIRECT-REC TRK] key.
