7. While strumming the guitar, raise Module 3’s fader gradually.

comes on occasionally.

recording. (This is only a temporary recording.)
10. While listening to the drum and bass tracks, play the guitar and set
Module 1, 2, and 3’s CUE sliders so that you can hear the drums,
bass, and guitar clearly.

17. Press PLAY to listen to the drum track, bass track, and new guitar
track.
If you like the track, go to “Step 4 — Recording the Vocals” once you
finish this procedure. If you don’t like it, re-record it.
18. Disconnect the guitar.
19. Set Module 3’s fader to 0.
20. Press REW to rewind the tape to 000.
Note: Connecting an instrument with a high output impedance such as an
electric guitar or bass to the MT50 may increase noise and distortion and
preclude high quality recordings.
As explained in Step 1 on page 10, connect a direct box or effect unit
between the instrument and the MT50 to reduce the impedance.
