3 Making your first recording  

3.5

Recording the next track

Since you plugged the microphone into 

MIC/LINE 1 / MONO

, and

didn't plug anything into 

MIC/LINE 2

, the microphone signal is split

as if it was plugged into both channels.

1) Take fader 1 to the 0 mark.

2) Set the level for input channel 2 in the same way as you set it 

for input channel 1 (see 3.3,  Setting the level ).

3) Set 

REC FUNCTION

 switch for 

INPUT 2

 to 

2

.

You are now ready to record on track 2.

4) Rehearse your second spoken part by playing back the first 

track (adjusting the level and pan if necessary) while 

speaking the words for the second track.

5) Rewind and record when you are ready.

When you are recording, the meter of 

INPUT 2

 will show the input 

levels of input 2. Since the signal is now going to track 2, the meter 

for input 1 will not show anything.

6) Rewind and playback when you have recorded. Adjust the 

level and pan position of the two tracks with the 

LEVEL

 and 

PAN

 controls for tracks 1 and 2.

Remember that the fader adjusts the level of what goes onto tape, not 

the replay levels.

When you are playing back, the meter of 

INPUT 1

 will show the level 

of the signal from the left outputs, and the meter of 

INPUT 2

 will 

show the input signal level as long as the 

REC FUNCTION

 switch is 

not 

SAFE

.

7) Rewind and repeat the recording of track 2 until you are 

satisfied with it.

SAFE

 input channel 2, and take both faders down to 

0

. Set 

the 

TRIM

 controls of both inputs to 

LINE

.
