If you have plugged a microphone into the corresponding connector, rotate the control fully clockwise to the MIC setting. If you have plugged a synthesizer into the connector, or are running a bassguitar or guitar through a signal processor (line level output), rotate the control fully counter-clockwise to the LINE setting. Note: This level setting is temporary - just to get a rough signal level based on the type of input you have connected. Be aware that you could easily be sending a signal that is overloading the gain amplifier and causing distortion. To set the final level, see steps 10 and 11. User's Guide

Initial recording
The first step in multitrack recording is to record the initial tracks. Usually, these are your rhythm tracks:
bassguitar, rhythm guitar, and drums.
Preparations for recording
1)
Insert a cassette tape into the cassette tape compartment (
D
).
2)
Connect the input source to the corresponding MIC/LINE INPUT connector for each channel.
3)
Set the input select key (
6
) to the MIC/LINE position.
4)
Rotate the GAIN control (
1
) to adjust the initial level of the input signal.
If you have plugged a microphone into the corresponding connector, rotate the control fully
clockwise to the MIC setting.
If you have plugged a synthesizer into the connector, or are running a bassguitar or guitar through a
signal processor (line level output), rotate the control fully counter-clockwise to the LINE setting.
Note:
Before you record anything, you must connect the MT4X to both an input source and a monitoring
system. See "Example System" on page 14.
Note:
This level setting is temporary — just to get a rough signal level based on the type of input you have
connected. Be aware that you could easily be sending a signal that is overloading the gain amplifier and
causing distortion. To set the final level, see steps 10 and 11.
