Step 3: Overdubbing
In this step, you will learn how to record another
instrument on another track, while listening to the content
you recorded in step 2. Adding parts in this way is called
“overdubbing”.
As in step 2, select the input source, adjust input
sensitivity and recording level, and make settings for the
insert effect.
1.
Connect the next instrument you want to
record, and adjust input sensitivity in the
same way as in step 2.1.
2.
Select the algorithm and patch for the
insert effect in the same way as in step 2.2.
3.
When the setting is complete, press the
[EXIT] key to return to the main screen.
Now you’re ready to record the second instrument on
another track, while listening to the content of the first
track and the guide rhythm.
1.
Repeatedly press the status key of the
track on which to record, until the key is lit
in red.
This track is now in the recording standby condition.
Verify that the status key of the recorded track and the
[RHYTHM] status key are lit in green.
2.
Set the [MASTER] fader to 0 (dB) and use
the fader of the recording track to adjust
the monitoring level.
If necessary, set the recorder to playback and operate the
faders to adjust the monitor level balance between the
recorded track and the track to record.
3.
To begin recording, press the ZERO [
U
]
key to return to the beginning of the song.
Then hold down the REC [
O
] key and press
the PLAY [
R
] key.
After the pre-count, recording on the new track will
begin. Record your instrument while listening to the
guide rhythm and the recorded track.
4.
When you have finished recording, press
the STOP [
P
] key.
The indication “wait...” is briefly shown on the display,
and then the main screen reappears.
5.
To check the recorded content, press the
ZERO [
U
] key once more to return to the
beginning of the song, and press the PLAY
[
R
] key.
The guide rhythm of the rhythm section and the
previously recorded track will be played back along with
the newly recorded track. Use the faders as necessary to
adjust the level balance.
6.
To stop playback, press the STOP [
P
] key.
HINT
To redo the recording, repeat steps 3 – 5. You can also start
rerecording from partly into the track and use the punch-in/
punch-out function (
→
p. 37) to redo a limited passage only.
7.
When you are satisfied with the recorded
content, press the status key of the
recording track until it is lit in green.
The recording condition for that track is turned off. You
can now record more tracks in the same way.
HINT
The maximum number of tracks that can be recorded is 8.
But even when all 8 tracks have been filled, you can still use
the bounce function (also called ping-pong recording) to
move the contents from multiple tracks onto 1 or 2 tracks.
Then you can select another V-take for the bounce source
tracks and record more (
→
p. 40).
