TASCAM DP-008

From recording to creating

a master track

Here, we will try multitrack recording. In the

following example, we will use an electric

guitar to record a rhythm guitar part on track 1

and a lead guitar part on track 2. Then, we will

use the built-in mic to record a voice on track

3. Finally, we will mix the tracks down.
In this section, we assume that you have

already followed the instructions in “Playback

and mixing” to connect monitoring equipment

and install the SD card.

TIP

This example uses the built-in mic for

recording vocals, but you could also connect

an external mic to the INPUT A or INPUT B

connector on the rear panel and record it.
