MT8XII—Owner’s Manual
Stripping the Tape—The process of recording a SYNC signal onto one track of a tape for
synchronized playback with a MIDI sequencer. You can record a FSK or SMPTE timecode SYNC
signal onto MT8XII Track 8. This should be done before recording anything else.
Tracking—The process of recording sounds to tracks on a audio recorder. Also know as laying
down tracks and just plain simple recording. Tracking is the first stage of the multitrack recording
process.
Unity Gain—A gain of one. That is, the signal is output from a circuit at the same level at which
it entered. Once passed the MIC/LINE amplifier, a unity gain system minimizes signal noise and
distortion. The unity gain position for MT8XII faders is at the 7–8 mark.
