Track recording 6 As necessary, use the same procedure to specify other input channels as recordingsources. 7 Press the [TRACK SEL] key(s) for the recorddestination track(s). You can select up to two tracks as the record-destination. If you select track 1, 3, 5, or 7, the signal will be connected to bus L. If you select track 2, 4, 6, or 8, the signal will be connected to bus R. If you select tracks 9/10-15/16, odd-numbered tracks will be connected to bus L, and even-numbered tracks will be connected to bus R. The screen will display lines to indicate how the signals are connected to the track(s). Tip! • EQ and dynamics settings will be ﬂat for a track channel whose track has been selected as a record-destination. • If a single track is selected, the pan of the track channel will be centered. If a paired track (→ p. 49) is selected, the odd-numbered/even-numbered track channels will be panned to left and right respectively. • The connection will be cancelled if you once again press the [TRACK SEL] key of a currently selected track. 8 For each input channel to which you connected an instrument or mic, press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key to access the INPUT SETTING popup window, and use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the input level of the signal. For details on adjusting the input level, refer to "Recording to a sound clip" (→ p. 33). 9 Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB position. 10 Raise the track channel fader for the recorddestination track, so that the monitor level is appropriate. Now you will be able to monitor the signal that is being sent to the track(s) via the L/R bus. 11 To set the pan of each input channel, use the [INPUT SEL] key to select a channel, and turn the [PAN/BAL] knob of the Selected Channel section. When you use bus recording, it will not be possible to adjust the pan or volume balance for individual instruments after they have been recorded on the track(s). This means that you must ﬁnalize the pan and volume balance when you send the signals from the input channels to the L/R bus. 12 To adjust the volume balance of each input channel, repeatedly press the [VIEW] key in the Selected Channel section to access the FADER page. When you want to set the volume balance of the input channels, it is convenient to use the FADER page of the VIEW screen. Here you can adjust the on/off status and input levels for the input channels, pad channels, and track channels - all in one page. 13 While producing sound on your instruments, use the [INPUT SEL] keys or CURSOR [ ]/ [ ] keys to move the cursor to the input channel that you want to control, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the volume balance. Note We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. This will degrade the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to distort. Tip! • You can also use the INPUT LEVEL knob in the INPUT SETTING popup window to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. • Normally, the panel faders are dedicated to the track channels. However by changing an internal setting, you can use the faders to control the input levels of the input channels. (→ p. 162) 46

Track recording

As necessary, use the same procedure to

specify other input channels as recording-

sources.

Press the [TRACK SEL] key(s) for the record-

destination track(s).

You can select up to two tracks as the record-desti-

nation.

If you select track 1, 3, 5, or 7, the signal will be

connected to bus L. If you select track 2, 4, 6, or 8,

the signal will be connected to bus R. If you select

tracks 9/10–15/16, odd-numbered tracks will be

connected to bus L, and even-numbered tracks will

be connected to bus R.

The screen will display lines to indicate how the

signals are connected to the track(s).

Tip!

•

EQ and dynamics settings will be ﬂat for a track chan-

nel whose track has been selected as a record-destina-

tion.

•

If a single track is selected, the pan of the track channel

will be centered. If a paired track (

→

p. 49) is selected,

the odd-numbered/even-numbered track channels will

be panned to left and right respectively.

•

The connection will be cancelled if you once again

press the [TRACK SEL] key of a currently selected track.

For each input channel to which you con-

nected an instrument or mic, press and hold

the [INPUT SEL] key to access the INPUT SET-

TING popup window, and use the [GAIN]

knob to adjust the input level of the signal.

For details on adjusting the input level, refer to

“Recording to a sound clip” (

→

p. 33).

Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB position.

Raise the track channel fader for the record-

destination track, so that the monitor level is

appropriate.

Now you will be able to monitor the signal that is

being sent to the track(s) via the L/R bus.

To set the pan of each input channel, use the

[INPUT SEL] key to select a channel, and turn

the [PAN/BAL] knob of the Selected Channel

section.

When you use bus recording, it will not be possible

to adjust the pan or volume balance for individual

instruments after they have been recorded on the

track(s). This means that you must ﬁnalize the pan

and volume balance when you send the signals

from the input channels to the L/R bus.

To adjust the volume balance of each input

channel, repeatedly press the [VIEW] key in

the Selected Channel section to access the

FADER page.

When you want to set the volume balance of the

input channels, it is convenient to use the FADER

page of the VIEW screen. Here you can adjust the

on/off status and input levels for the input channels,

pad channels, and track channels — all in one

page.

While producing sound on your instruments,

use the [INPUT SEL] keys or CURSOR [

[

] keys to move the cursor to the input

channel that you want to control, and turn

the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the volume

balance.

Note

We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to

adjust the volume balance of the input channels. This will

degrade the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to dis-

tort.

Tip!

•

You can also use the INPUT LEVEL knob in the INPUT

SETTING popup window to adjust the volume balance

of the input channels.

•

Normally, the panel faders are dedicated to the track

channels. However by changing an internal setting, you

can use the faders to control the input levels of the

input channels. (
