MT8XII Applications
This chapter shows how the MT8XII can be used for various applications.
One-Take Recording
The One-Take recording technique is ideal for live recording or recording bands that like to
record with all members playing together. In the following system example, vocals, guitar, and
drums are recorded using microphones, the bass is connected via a DI connection, and the syn-
thesizer is connected directly. A stereo pair of headphones is used for monitoring.
The MT8XII provides four-track simultaneous recording. So there are two options for one-take
recording: 1) mix and record all inputs to four tracks. 2) Record the four backing tracks first,
then record the remaining tracks while monitoring the backing tracks.
