OVERDUBBING

Overdubbing is the process of recording a new track (or new tracks) whiie monitoring previousiy recorded tracks. If you're only

planning to record a maximum of four tracks, you can go ahead and overdub the second, third and fourth tracks. If you’re planning

to use the "ping-pong” recording technique to record more than four parts, however, record only three tracks and then move on to

the ping-pong step (see "PING-PONG RECORDING" on page 15).

1. Plug the instrument or other source to be recorded into an

availabie channei input.

2. Make sure that the REG SELECT switches of previousiy-

recorded tracks are set to OFF so that previously recorded

tracks aren’t erased when the new track is recorded.

3. Set up the channel-to-track assignment for the new track.

4. Check your monitor settings to ensure that you can monitor

the previously recorded track(s) as well as the new track to

be recorded (the MONITOR SELECT switch shouid nor-

maiiy be set to MONITOR.)

5. Set the recording levei for the new track.

6. You can now “rehearse” the overdub without actuaiiy re­

cording by simpiy playing back the aiready-recorded

track(s) and piaying the new part. When MONITOR select

is in the MONITOR position, it is not possibie to hear input

source uniess MTIOOn's transport is in RECORD or REC-

ORD/PAUSE. If you are not ready to actually record your

overdub, and would like to hear the new input source along

with previously recorded tracks, set the MONITOR select

switch to the MIX position.

7. Make sure the tape is rewound to the beginning of the

piece and start recording.

These steps are simply repeated to overdub tracks 3 and 4.
