Here’s how to mix audio tracks and the drum/bass track
sound onto two stereo channels and record these on the
master track.
1.
Press the [TRACK PARAMETER] key in the
display section and use the cursor up/down
keys to bring up the indication “TR x-yy” on
the display (where x is the track number
and yy is the V-take number).
2.
Use the [MASTER] status key or the cursor
left/right keys to select the master track.
The name of the V-take selected for the master track is
shown. (If there is noting recorded on the V-take, the
indication “NO DATA” is shown.)
3.
Use the dial to select the V-take.
When you have selected the V-take, press the [EXIT] key
to return to the main screen.
4.
From the main screen, press the [MASTER]
status key so that the key is lit in red.
The master track is now ready for recording. The signal
after passing the [MASTER] fader will be sent to the
master track.
The other tracks operate normally, also while the
[MASTER] status key is lit in red.
5.
Press the PLAY [
R
] key to start playback
and adjust the mixing balance.
The individual track level settings as well as panning,
insert effect, and send/return effect settings all have an
influence on the signal that is sent to the master track.
Adjust levels while watching the L/R level meter, and
make sure that no signal clipping occurs.
6.
To carry out the mixdown operation, press
the ZERO [
U

beginning of the song, and then press the

STOP [
P
] key.
To play the recorded master track, proceed as follows.

From the main screen, press the [MASTER]
status key repeatedly until the key is lit in
green.
The master track is now ready for playback. In this mode,
all other status keys are out and the audio tracks and
drum/bass track are muted. The insert and send/return
effects are also switched off.
2.
Press the ZERO [
U
] key to return to the
beginning of the song, and then press the
PLAY [
R
] key.
Playback of the master track starts. To adjust the playback
volume, use the [MASTER] fader.

To stop recorder playback, press the STOP
[
P
] key.
4.
To cancel the master track playback mode,
press the [MASTER] status key so that the
key goes out.
