Mode parameters
This section explains the parameters that appear in the dis-
play for each mode you select using the Mode knob.
REC MODE
Select the recording mode
Here you can select the recording mode. The mixer settings
will change according to the mode you select, allowing
you to execute the desired type of recording. An icon in the
display indicates the recording mode you selected here.
Input: input recording
This recording mode lets you perform conventional
recording.
The external input(s) assigned to the track(s) record-
enabled by “REC SELECT” will be recorded.
Bounce: bounce recording
With this recording mode, the playback of the tracks you
specify (together with an external audio input source) can
be recorded on one or two other tracks that are record-
enabled by “REC SELECT.”
For example, you might input your performance on track
1 while listening to the playback of tracks 2, 3, and 4, and
record all of these sounds together on track 1. Alterna-
tively, you could input your performance on tracks 1 and
2 while listening to the playback of tracks 3 and 4, and
record all of these sounds together on tracks 1 and 2.
Mastering: mastering recording
In this recording mode, the playback of the tracks will be
mixed down to the track(s) that are record-enabled by
“REC SELECT.”
If you’re using all four tracks, use Mastering to combine
these into two tracks or one track. You can also use Mas-
tering to apply a master effect or final effect to two
already-recorded tracks, and re-record the result onto two
other tracks.
CnvrtMP2: stereo MP2 song recording
This recording mode converts a completed song into a ste-
reo MP2 song.
If you convert a song into a stereo MP2 song, you will be
able to send it to your computer and play it back using an
application that is able to play MPEG1 Layer 2 files. When
you execute MP2 recording, a playback-only stereo MP2
song will be newly created; the existing song will not be
overwritten. The mixer will operate in the same way as for
Mastering recording.
When you switch the recording mode, the TRACK ASSIGN,
REC SELECT, and effect assignments will be turned off.
