This sets MIC B , which is the built-in mic
on the right side of the front panel as the
input source for
INPUT B
.
NOTE
Internal MIC / Low and Internal MIC / High
change the sensitivity of the built-in mics.
Set it according to the loudness of the
subject being recorded.
If you are not sure which setting to use,
choose Internal MIC / Low. If the input level
is too low after adjusting it later, return
to this screen and change the setting to
Internal MIC / High.

HOME key to return to the Home Screen.
Setting the guitar as TRACK 1
recording source
The default settings are for the
INPUT A
to be
the recording source for TRACK 1 , 3 , 5 and 7
and for the
INPUT B
to be the recording source
for TRACK 2 , 4 , 6 and 8 .
In “Connecting and setting the input sources”
above, we made a guitar the input source for
the
INPUT A
and a built-in mic ( MIC B ) the
input source for the
INPUT B
. Therefore, the
guitar is already set to record to TRACK 1 , 3 , 5
and 7 and MIC B is ready to record to TRACK
2 , 4 , 6 and 8 .
As a result, there is no need to change the
input channel assignments to record the guitar
to TRACK 1 in this example.
Adjusting the input level and
monitoring
1 Press the HOME key to return to the
Home Screen.
2. Press the TRACK 1 REC key. The key
blinks showing that the track is in record
standby.

3 Use the INPUT A TRIM knob to adjust the
guitar input level.
Set the TRIM knob so that the INPUT A
OL indicator does not light even when
the loudest sound to be recorded is input.
If the indicator continues to light even
when the TRIM knob is turned down,
the guitar signal itself is too loud. In this
case, lower the output level on the guitar.
