2 - Quick Start Guides Recording and mastering Here, we will try multitrack recording. In the following example, we will first explain how to use the built-in mics to record an acoustic guitar rhythm part on track 3 (by using the built-in stereo microphone pair to record the acoustic guitar to a stereo track, we can capture reverberations, including from the sound of the guitar body, that add a sense of depth). Next, we will use an electric guitar to record a lead guitar part on track 2. Then, we will use the built-in mics to record singing on track 1. Finally, we will show how to mix these tracks down to stereo. We assume that you have followed the instructions in the previous section "Playback and mixing" and already connected headphones to this unit, turned it on and loaded an SD card. TIP This example uses the built-in mic for recording vocals, but you could also connect an external mic to the INPUT A or INPUT B connector on the rear panel and record it. Creating a new song 1. When the recorder is stopped, press the MENU button to open the MENU screen. 2. Use the DATA wheel to select (highlight) the SONGitem, and press the F4 [t] button to open the SONGscreen. 3. Use the DATA wheel to select (highlight) the CREATEitem, and press the F4 [t] button to open the SONG CREATEscreen. When a song is created, it is given the name (title) "SONG***" (where *** is a number). 4. Change the song name as necessary. (See "Editing names" on page 46.) 15 TASCAM DP-006

Recording and mastering
Here, we will try multitrack recording.
In the following example, we will first explain how to use the built-in mics to
record an acoustic guitar rhythm part on track 3 (by using the built-in stereo
microphone pair to record the acoustic guitar to a stereo track, we can capture
reverberations, including from the sound of the guitar body, that add a sense
of depth).
Next, we will use an electric guitar to record a lead guitar part on track 2. Then,
we will use the built-in mics to record singing on track 1. Finally, we will show
how to mix these tracks down to stereo.
We assume that you have followed the instructions in the previous section
“Playback and mixing” and already connected headphones to this unit, turned
it on and loaded an SD card.
TIP
This example uses the built-in mic for recording vocals, but you could also
connect an external mic to the
INPUT A
or
INPUT B
connector on the rear
panel and record it.
