MD4 Applications 57 9 MD4 Applications This chapter shows how MD4 can be used for various applications. One-Take Recording The One-Take recording technique is ideal for live recording or recording bands that like to record with all members playing together. In the following system example, vocals, guitar, and drums are recorded using microphones, while the bass is connected via a DI connection. With the optional footswitch connected to the PUNCH I/O jack, one of the musicians can stop and start MD4 recording. A stereo pair of headphones is used for monitoring. For one-take recording, the [REC SELECT] buttons on all four tracks are set to ON. Up to eight markers can be inserted while recording by pressing the [MARK] button. Markers make it easy to locate specific points in a song. When one-take recording is finished, the ping-pong technique can be used to make tracks available for further recording. See Ping-Pong Recording on page 29 for more information. Mistakes can be corrected using the punch in/out functions. See Manual Punch In/Out on page 21 and Auto Punch In/Out on page 24 for more information. Finally, EQ and effects can be applied during mixdown and transfer to a stereo master recorder.
