MR-8HD/CD Owner’s Manual (Basic operations)
Overdubbing is recording something new while listening to the previously recorded track(s).
It is a very important method in multitrack recording. The following describes an example of
overdubbing for recording a stereo keyboard to tracks 7/8 while listening to the guitar on track
1. See the procedure previously described in "
Recording onto a single track " for details about how
to record a guitar on track 1. In the procedure below, we assume that the song of which the
guitar has been recorded on track 1 is loaded.
Note that you can make overdubbing to another track or other tracks in the same manner as
described below.
1) Connect the L and R outputs of the keyboard to
input connectors of the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B]
channels.
Connect the L and R outputs to the [ INPUT A ]
and [ INPUT B ] channels respectively.
2) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "MIC/LINE".
3) Press the [REC SELECT] key for tracks 7/8.
Tracks 7/8 are record armed and the
[
REC SELECT ] key for tracks 7/8 starts
flashing.
On the home screen, the remaining time is
shown, while "
7 " and " 8 " for the track
numbers change to " A " and " B " respectively.
Preparation for recording
4) Set track faders 1 and 7/8 and the [MASTER] fader
to the nominal position (marked by
).
Raising these faders allows you to monitor the
input sound. If these faders are not raised, you
cannot monitor the sound via headphones.
This indicates you can now record the [ INPUT
A ] and [ INPUT B ] channel signals to tracks 7
and 8 respectively.
