corresponds with that of the track being recorded. For example, to monitor Track 5, use the CUE
LEVEL control on Input Channel 5. The CUE PAN control can be used to pan the signal.
You should now be able to hear the sound source. If you don’t hear anything, recheck the pre-
ceding steps.

Repeat this procedure until you’ve recorded all tracks. Then you’re ready for mixdown.
