Step-By-Step-Operation Guide

How to Record Tracks 3 and 4

Tracks 3 and 4 can be recorded using almost the
same procedure just shown for tracks 1 and 2. Just
use the applicable RECORD FUNCTION switches,
and the PAN controls should be rotated to the LEFT
for recording on Track 3 and to the RIGHT for Track
4.

How to Record Many Sources onto a
Single Track

In the first example, we recorded one source onto
one track at a time for simplicity. But the mixer of
the Portastudio 414 MKII can take multiple channels
and mix them onto a single track. To do this :

Set the PAN control of each channel to the same

setting, for example :

In this example, all instruments plugged
into channels 1-4 will be recorded onto
Track 1 or 3.

Lower the MASTER fader to make overall level

adjustments once you have each channel's TRIM
and fader level set.

Make sure the INPUT switch of every channel

you want to record is set to MIC/LINE.

■ You can't record the stereo channels onto a single

track.
