Recording sound on sound

This technique allows the

mixing of several sound

sources on one and the

same sound track. Techni

cally, this means that you

have to go over the same
sound track again without
erasing it fully. This is
made possible by variable

erasure in the T2000,

which is controlled by the

Rec/Trick control (13). De
pending on the position of

this control, the original

recording on the track will

be erased only partly and

the new recording super

imposed in the correspon

ding proportion. As a

result, it is fairly easy to

combine background

music, for example, with a
spoken commentary and,
possibly, special sound
effects.

While the recording proce

dure is as usual, the Rec/

Trick control must here be

kept on

off

until the addi

tional sound is to be faded

in. Then slowly turn the

trick control to a posi

tion which very likely will
be somewhere in the

medium range of the scale.

The exact position suitable

for your type of source

and background and the

effect desired can easily be

found by some experimen

tation.
