RECORDING THE FIRST TRACK

STEP 1: CHANNEL-TO-TRACK ASSIGNMENT

The first step in making any recording is to assign the channei to which your instrument or other source is connected to one of the

recorder’s tracks.

Depending on what you are recording, you might want to record a singie instrument or other source to a single track on the recorder,
or you might want to combine several instruments or other sources and record them on a single track. The MT100 offers two
“channel-to-track assignment” methods that can be used individually or combined to give you the track assignments that you need.

Direct ChanneMo-Track Assignment

With this method, an instrument or source connected to one of
the mixer’s channels is fed directly to the correspondingly

numbered track of the recorder. You can record a single track
like this, or up to all four tracks simultaneously.

Panned Channet-to-Track Assignment

The panned channel-to-track assignment method makes it

possible to assign several of the mixer’s channels to a single
recorder track, or single mixer channels can be assigned to
different tfack numbers.

For direct channel-to-track assignment, the REG SELECT

switch of the channel(s) to be recorded must be set to the
“number” position (1, 2, 3 or 4). For example, if the channel 1

REG SELECT switch is set to “1,” the channel 1 signal will be

sent directly to track 1 of the recorder. This applies in the
same way to all other channels and tracks.

Each of the REG SELECT switches has either an “L” or “R”
position. These correspond to the left (L) and right (R) chan
nels of the mixer’s output. If a REG SELECT switch is set to
“L,” for example, any of the mixer’s channels can be assigned

to the correspondingly numbered track by setting its PAN
control fully LEFT. You could assign channel 1 to track 4, for

example, by setting the channel-4 REG SELECT switch to “R”
and the channel-1 PAN control fully RIGHT.
The assignment shown in the diagram below is achieved by
setting the channel-4 REG SELECT switch to “R,” and setting

the PAN controls of channel 1, 2 and 3 fully RIGHT. The

channel-4 PAN control is set fully LEFT to prevent its signal
from reaching track 4 of the recorder.
