Here’s how to set the volume balance and pan for the previously-recorded tracks and the tracks
that you now will be overdubbing.

1

While you play back the song, raise the
track channel faders for the previously-
recorded tracks to an appropriate monitor-
ing level.

2

Press the [SEL] key for a previously-
recorded track, and press the Selected
Channel section [PAN/EQ] key so that its
indicator lights.

3

Rotate the Selected Channel knob 1 to
adjust the pan.

Adjust the pan in the same way for the other track
channels.

4

Stop the recorder, and while producing
sound on your instrument, adjust the fader
of the recording-destination track channel
so that the monitoring level is appropriate.

The track channel for the recording-destination track
will send the input signal to the stereo bus while
recording or stopped, and will send the track playback
signal to the stereo bus during playback. This means
that in order to monitor the input signal, you must stop
the recorder.

5

Press the [SEL] key for the recording-desti-
nation track channel, and press the
Selected Channel section [PAN/EQ] key so
that its indicator lights.

6

Rotate the Selected Channel knob 1 to
adjust the pan.

In the same way as for the input channel signal, you
can also use EQ and dynamics (compressor) to process
the track channel.

By operating the track channel you’ve selected as the
recording-destination, you can adjust the panning or
tone of the monitor signal without affecting the signal
that is actually recorded.

Setting the mix balance and pan

• For example if you’ve already recorded tracks 1–4, press the

Layer section [TRACK 1-12] key to make it light, and use the
top panel faders 1–4 to control track channels 1–4.

HINT

• The position of the track channel faders will not affect the

recording level. However if you set the faders to 0 dB, the
playback volume will be the same as when you recorded the
tracks.

cessing, refer to “Pan, EQ, and Dynamics Processing” (
