2. Mixdown
Mixdown is a technique that enables you to adjust the volume balance of the
overdubbed tracks 1-4, combine them to two channels, and dub (copy) to a master
recorder (cassette deck or MD recorder etc.). Refer to the diagram below:
Adjust the output level and balance (pan
position) of tracks, then adjust input level
on the master recorder.
Insert a tape with tracks 1-4 already recorded
into the cassette tray, and rewind the tape
up to the playback start point (reset the
counter to "000").
Connect the input jack of a master recorder,
such as cassette deck, and the [LINE OUT
L, R] jacks.
Insert a recording tape (or MD) in the master
recorder and locate the point on the tape at
which you wish to start copying.
Set the master recorder to the record standby
mode. (That is, press the [PAUSE] button so
that the level meter will respond, then set the
recorder in record pause mode.)
The method for setting the recorder in record
standby mode will vary depending on the
recorder you are using.
Refer to the instruction manual of the master
recorder for more information.
