Recording onto the additional track
On a disk formatted in the [Normal mode] or the [Master-
ing mode 1], real time recording is possible on the addi-
tional track L and R.
However, when real time recording onto the additional track,
unlike recording onto a real track, the additional track can-
not be entered in the input monitor mode.
As shown in the chart below, the stereo bus L, R output
sound is directly monitored by switching the monitor sec-
tion SELECTOR to [L/R]. <Note>
When recording is attempted on the additional track on a disk for-
matted in “Mastering mode 2,” [Can’t Rec] will be displayed and the
recording mode canceled.
* When recording on the additional track, if the monitor section SE-
LECTOR is set to [L/R] as shown in the chart below, the stereo bus L,
R signal sound quality processed such as with an equalizer for ex-
ample, can be monitored.
Also, if the SELECTOR is switched to [MON], and MON knob of the
channel to which the sound source is input is rotated to the [INPUT]
side, the pre-fader signal can be monitored. In other words, signals
which have not been affected by the INPUT fader and equalizer, can
be monitored.
