53 Appendix MONITOR/PHONES control Controls the amount of signal fed to the speakers through the left and right MONITOR OUT jacks or to the stereo PHONES (headphone) jack. Multitrack A tape recorder with more than two tracks. The MT4X is a four-track machine. Each track can be independently recorded at an optimum level, and then mixed, equalized, processed, and panned into a final mixdown. Overdub recording Recording one track while listening to another track or tracks. The process of overdubbing can also be implemented by a synthesizer synchronized to a sync track. See Synchronization. Pan A control that sets the relative position of a sound in a stereo image. Each channel module includes a PAN control. The PAN control is also used for track group assignment. Pinchroller A small rubber wheel which presses the tape against the capstan. Ping-Pong recording Also known as bouncing. The transfer of recordings from several tracks to one other track effectively increase the number of tracks available for recording. Pitch The frequency of a musical sound - its relative highness or lowness compared to other notes. The PITCH control changes the pitch of a playback by fine-tuning the speed at which the tape passes over the head. Post-fader MT4X's auxiliary sends are configured post fader, which means that the send signal is sourced after the fader. To feed a signal to an external effects processor via the auxiliary send, turn up the AUX control and raise the fader. The advantage is that you can fade both channel and auxiliary send signals simultaneously. Compare with Pre-fader. Pre-fader A signal that is sourced before the fader, therefore, the fader has no control on the signal. Punch-In/Out recording A recording technique used primarily to correct mistakes by re-recording over a short section of a track. Stereo mix A two-track mix with left and right stereo channels. The finished product of a mixdown session. Striping the tape Applying a timecode to the tape for synchronization purposes. On the MT4X, you apply the timecode to Track 4. Synchronization The technique of coordinating external MIDI instruments and the playback of the MT4X via a timecode. See Overdub recording. Track A physical band on a recording tape created by a recording head. The MT4X creates four tracks on one side of a standard audio cassette. Tracking sheet A chart that lists what was recorded on each track, the settings used, and in what order. User's Guide
