Recording Functions 32 Mixdown Mixdown is the process of combining the four individual tracks into a final stereo mix. You blend and polish the sounds before you record them onto a stereo cassette recorder or DAT recorder. The mix is created using the various mixer controls. You adjust the track levels with the channel faders, change the equalizations, and modify the stereo image with the pan controls. You can also connect external signal processors, such as a reverberator or digital delay, to further refine your mix. Connections and setup In these instructions, the MT4X is your multitrack recorder and the stereo cassette recorder or DAT recorder is the master recorder.
