OCTATRACK PROCESSING LIVE INSTRUMENTS
Fig 3. Four mixer aux sends are connected to the inputs of the Octatrack. Each aux send
sends a different signal. The Octatrack applies effects, reconstructs the incoming audio
and sends back the real-time processed audio to the stage mixer.
1.
Connect four aux sends from the mixer to the four inputs of the Octatrack. The guitar is
being sent to input A, the bass to input B, the synth to input C and the vocals to input D.
Connect the Octatrack main outputs to the mixer.
2.
Open the MIXER menu by pressing [MIXER]. Make sure DIR for both AB and CD is set
to 0. This will stop the incoming sound from being sent to the Octatrack main outputs.
3.
Press [CUE] + [AUDIO REC AB] and [CUE] + [AUDIO REC CD] to route the incoming
audio directly to the cue outputs. Cueing like this will prevent the incoming audio from
being sent to the main outputs. This is necessary as only the sampled and processed
audio should be sent back to the stage mixer. If the incoming audio were directly routed
to the main Octatrack outputs and hence back to the stage mixer, phasing issues might
occur.
4.
Select track 1 by pressing the first [TRACK] key. Open the RECORDING SETUP 1
menu for track 1 by pressing [FUNCTION] + [AUDIO REC AB]. Set INAB to A. When
[TRACK] key 1 + [AUDIO REC AB] are pressed, the track recorder will start recording
the guitar. Repeat the procedure for track 2, but set INAB to B. This will record the bass
guitar. Likewise, set up track recorders 3 and 4 so the synth and the vocals can be sam-
pled and processed.
