meter as you speak.
9. Rotate the INPUT 1 TRIM knob (behind the display) as high as possible without allowing its LED (above
the knob) to light red (input clipping), and raise the PHONE LEVEL (front panel) to a comfortable
listening position.
10. If the input signal reaches the “CLP” line on the level meter, lower the INPUT 1 TRIM knob. Set plenty of
input signal (-6dB), without clipping.
Record Track 1:
11. Press the REC key on the lower right of the top panel (the REC and PLAY keys will flash).
12. Press the PLAY key and then record some audio (Example: "This is Track 1…recording Track 1”…etc.).
While you're recording, watch the Counter run in the upper right of the display, and record for about 8
measures (“008.01.000”).
Note: When selecting a new song, the Counter time display defaults to “Measures, Beats, Ticks”
(“001.01.000”), unless “PreviousSong” MixerSet is selected in the “MakeNewSong” dialog box.
13. When you're finished, press the STOP key, then press the IN / LOC1 key (lit) to reset the song to the
beginning (check the Counter: “001.01.000”).
14. Press the PLAY key to hear your new track, then press the STOP key.
Select, assign and record another track:
15. Press the IN / LOC1 key (lit) to reset to the song beginning.

17. Press the Track 2 TRACK STATUS key 2x, until its LED lights RED (record status).
18. Press the INPUT/TUNER key, then press the “Ch1-8” tab in the display.
19. Press the “Ch2” icon, then rotate the DIAL to the left, until the “Ch2” input icon reads "1". Note: You've
just eliminated the need to re-patch your mic to another analog input!
20. Speak into your mic and raise the Channel 2 Fader to the "0" position. Then set the PAN knob to center.
You've already set the input gain for analog input 1, so there's no need to worry about adjusting trim on
the new track.
