Recording and mastering

In this section we will practice multitrack recording. In

the following example, we will explain how to record a

rhythm guitar part with an electric guitar to track 1 and

a lead guitar part to track 2. Then, we will use the built-in

microphone to record vocals to track 3. Finally, we will mix

down the tracks to stereo.
In this section, we assume that you have already followed

the instructions in the previous section, and that you have

connected monitoring equipment, started the unit and

installed the SD card.

TIP

This example uses the built-in mic for recording vocals,

but you could also connect an external mic to the INPUT

A or INPUT B connector on the rear panel and record with

it.
