40 Advanced recording techniques In the following, we will give an example of mixing previously-recorded tracks 1-4 into a stereo pair, and ping-pong recording them to tracks 3 and 4.

The playback sound of tracks 1-4 will be sent via the input channels to the ST bus. Tip: If you use LINE INPUT jacks 5-8, the audio sources connected to LINE INPUT jacks 5-8 can be added to tracks 1-4 as you ping-pong record. The input level of LINE INPUT jacks 5-8 can be adjusted by the LEVEL controls 5/6 and 7/8. 2 While holding down the BUS button, press REC SELECT buttons 3 and 4. The ST bus will be selected as the recording source for tracks 3 and 4, and the track record indicators (BUS/L, R) will blink. Make sure that the track record indicators for tracks 1 and 2 are dark. 3 Turn on the MONITOR SELECT STEREO switch. The ST bus will be selected as the signal source for monitoring, allowing you to monitor the playback sound of tracks 1-4. Make sure that the MONITOR SELECT CUE switch is off. 4 Set the STEREO fader in the 7-8 range. 5 Press the SONG SEARCH [ ] button to locate to the beginning of the song. 6 Press the REHE button, and then press the PLAY button to begin rehearsing the pingpong recording. 7 While listening to your monitoring headphones or monitor speakers, use the faders and PAN controls of input channels 1-4 to adjust the mix balance of tracks 1-4. As necessary, use the EQ controls to adjust the tone. When you finish adjusting the mix balance, watch the track level meters of tracks 3 and 4 as you adjust the STEREO fader to set the recording level. (At the ideal level, the -3 segment of the meter will light at the peaks.) -Owner's Manual
