Working with Virtual Tracks
The D1600 features 8 Virtual tracks for every track - 128 tracks per song! Virtual tracks give you the benefit
of being able to record several takes without overwriting any previous takes. Then you can select from your
favorite Virtual track(s) for playback, bouncing or in mixdown.
Record a new Virtual track on Track 2b:
1. Press the IN/LOC1 key to reset to the song beginning.
2. Press the TRACK key, then press the “Vtr1-8” tab in the display. Note the highlighted “1a” and the left
column of the display. The top "bar" is black in this column, because you have recorded on Virtual track
“1a”. Also note that the track “2” column indicates data has also been recorded on Virtual track “2a”.
3. Press to highlight “2a” in the display, then slowly-rotate the DIAL to the right, until the second column in
the display reads “2b” (Virtual track "2b").
4. Press the RECORD key, then press the “RecMode” tab, and make sure that the “Input” radio button is
selected.
5. Press the METER / TRACK VIEW key (PreFdr view), then press the REC key.
6. Press the PLAY key, and record about 8 measures of your voice on Virtual track 2b. (Example: "This is
Virtual track 2b"). Set the Channel 1 fader level to suit.
7. Press the STOP key, then press the IN / LOC1 key to reset to the song beginning.
8. Press the PLAY key to hear Virtual track 2b and the original track 1a, then press the STOP key.
