TIP
• Press the STOP (8) and REW (m) buttons at the
same time to use the TO ZERO function to return to the
beginning of the song (ZERO point).
• If you press the wrong button and open a different screen,
you can press the HOME button to return to the Home
screen at any time.
Recording and mastering
In this section we will practice multitrack recording.
Here we will explain how to connect electric guitars to
INPUT H and external microphones to INPUT B.
In the following example, we will explain how to record
an electric guitar rhythm part to track 1 and a lead guitar
part to track 2. Then, we will use an external microphone
to record vocals to track 3. Finally, we will mix down the
tracks to stereo.
We will assume that you have already followed the
instructions in the previous section, and that you have
connected headphones or other monitoring equipment,
started the unit and inserted an SD card.
