RECORDING THE FIRST TRACK

STEP 1: CHANNEL-TO-TRACK ASSIGNMENT

The first step in making any recording is to assign the channei to which your instrument or other source is connected to one of the

recorder’s tracks.

Depending on what you are recording, you might want to record a singie instrument or other source on a singie track of the tape, or

you might want to combine several instruments or other sources and record them on a single track. The MTIOOn offers two

“channel-to-track assignment” methods.

Direct Channel-to-Track Assignment

With this method, an instrument or source connected to one of

the mixer’s channels is fed directly to the correspondingly

numbered track of the recorder. You can record a single track
like this, or up to all four tracks simultaneously. Using this

method, only one input source can be recorded on a single

track.

For direct channel-to-track assignment, the REG SELECT

switchs are set to the “number” position (1, 2, 3 or 4). For ex­

ample, if the channel 1 REG SELECT switch is set to “1,”the

channel 1 signal will be sent directly to track 1 of the recorder.

This applies in the same way to all other channels and tracks.

Panned Channet-to-Track Assignment

The panned channel-to-track assignment method makes it

possible to assign several of the mixer’s channels to a single

recorder track, or single mixer channels can be assigned to a

track of a different numbers.

Each of the REG SELECT switches has either an “L” or “R”

position. These correspond to the left (L) and right (R) chan­

nels of the mixer’s stereo output. If track 1’s REG SELECT

switch is set to “L” for example, track 1 will receive any signals

which are “panned” LEFT. Therefore, it is possible to send the

signal from channel 1 to track 4 by selecting “R” on track 4’s

REG SELECT switch and panning channel 1 RIGHT. In addi­

tion, any other channels which are panned RIGHT will also be

recorded on track 4 if the faders for those channels are at

raised. The assignment illustrated below is achieved by set­

ting track 4's REG SELECT switch to “R” and setting the PAN

controls on channels 1, 2 and 3 fully right.

[Note] When a REG SELECT switch is set to “L” or “R” the

track will also record signal from the “LEFT or RIGHT

side” of the AUX return. Therefore, effects can be

recorded along with input sources.
