The INPUT MODE switch
You will use this switch when you are recording from input A and
input B at the same time.
INPUT MODE does
not affect the
recording at all—just the monitoring
process.
This front panel switch affects the way that you monitor the input signals,
both through the headphones and/or through the
LINE OUTPUT jacks. There
are two positions:
In the MONO X 2
mode, the A and B
input signals are added together in
the center, and you may hear dis-
tortion in the monitoring system
This does not affect the recording,
though.
MONO x 2 —The signals from input A and input B are both sent to the
center of the monitoring “stage”.
STEREO —The signal from input A is sent to the left, and the signal
from input B is sent to the right of the monitoring “stage” forming a
stereo pair for use when you are recording stereo instruments such as
synthesizers, etc.
Monitoring and recording Use the rear panel LINE OUTPUT RCA
jacks to connect the DP 01 to your monitoring system (that is, an amplifier/
speaker setup). When you’re ready to make your final stereo master, you
can use these jacks to connect to an analog recorder.
A typical setup would connect these jacks to the AUX IN of a stereo sys
tem.
“Tracking” means
recording tracks on
the DP-01. “Mastering” means tak-
ing these recording tracks and mix-
ing them down to stereo.
Use the stereo system’s selector switch to listen to the AUX source when
tracking, bouncing or mastering on the DP 01.
When you have mastered the stereo track and you want to record it, set the
stereo monitoring system so that the recorder is set to record from the AUX
source. Now you are monitoring (or listening) through your stereo system.
The DP-01FX and
DP-01FX/CD their
own internal reverb processors.
However, you can also use an
external effect processor if you pre-
fer.
Effect processor When you want to use an external effect processor
with the DP 01, connect the rear panel SEND of the DP 01 to the mono
input of the processor (1/4” unbalanced jack).
Connect the stereo outputs of the processor to the two RETURN jacks of the
DP 01 (1/4" unbalanced jacks).
