Overdubbing
In this section we will explain how to record an electric bass connected to
INPUT 8 (HI-Z) jack while monitoring the rhythm machine (or drums) recorded
on tracks 1/2.
Set the input level
1. While producing sound on your instrument, adjust [GAIN] control 8 so
that the PEAK indicator of INPUT 8 (HI-Z) lights briefly when you play
most loudly.
The INPUT 8 (HI-Z) jack is an input jack designed for high impedance instru-
ments. It cannot be used simultaneously with the conventional INPUT 8 (phone)
jack.
2. Press the [HOME] key → [F1] key.
The HOME screen 1–24/Rtn page will appear.
3. Press the MIXING LAYER section [1–16] key to select input channels 1–
16 as the mixing layer.
4. Make sure that [ON] key 8 is turned on, and raise fader 8 to the 0 dB
position.
To avoid confusion, turn off the [ON] keys for all input channels that you are not
using.
5. While producing sound on your instrument, watch the input level of
input channel 8 that is displayed in the on-screen level meter.
If the AW4416 is in the initial state, the electric bass connected to the INPUT 8
(HI-Z) jack will be sent to input channel 8. If the level meter reaches the “CLIP”
position, lower [GAIN] control 8.
