Basic Recording - 1 (Recording from the front panel LINE IN/INSERT jack)
First, let’s connect your musical instrument and try recording on a specific track.
In the following example, a synthesizer will be recorded on track 1. This and other explanations assume an AC adapter
is connected to the X-34 and the X-34 is powered on.
* Before proceeding to the next step, set the X-34 to its “initial settings” as explained on page 9.
Also, make sure that the Track Down indicator is turned off.

1. Lift the cassette tray lid and load the cassette

to LINE IN/INSERT jack 1 to any track other than track 1
using REC TRK switch 1 to select the desired track.
