6. Adjusting level balance and equalization characteristics Adjust channel faders 1 and 2 to achieve the desired recording level balance. Adjust the equalizers for 1 and 2 to obtain the desired sound character for each individual channel. (If you're thinking of ping-ponging these tracks afterwards, it's a good idea to add a little boost on the HIGH EQ because high frequencies can be slightly diminished during the ping-pong re-recording process). Set the effect level for each channel with the AUX controls. Then, adjust the overall mix of effect signal to input signal with the AUX MASTER SEND control. If necessary, go over steps to several times until everything is just right. Adjust the master recording level with the MASTER fader, setting it at the point where the "+3" indicator on the far left level meter flashes occasionally on the sound peaks. 7. Recording Push the PAUSE switch to start recording. Just before the rhythm programmer is started, be sure to "count" out loud to help you get the timing right on the other tracks during overdubbing later on. When the music sequence is over, press the STOP switch to stop the recording. Then, press the REW switch, and the tape will rewind to a point just before the beginning "999" on the tape counter and stop. - Drum Recording Completed - Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 20
