Overdubbing with higher sound quality

(DIRECT MIX)

In the DIRECT MIX mode, the playback sound and mic
input sounds are mixed in the unit when recording, allowing
overdubbing at higher quality.
Headphones should be used for monitoring to prevent the
microphones from picking up the playback sound.
The DIRECT MIX mode is automatically activated when
headphones are connected. You can also follow the steps
below to activate the DIRECT MIX mode manually to
overdub sounds in higher quality without using headphones
for monitoring. Do this when you overdub the sound of an
electric instrument through the LINE IN jacks, for example.

1 Press the

OVERDUB

[

] key to start recording

standby.

2 Press the

key to activate DIRECT MIX mode.

After this, follow the same procedures as for ordinary
overdubbing (OVERDUB).
