3-5. Mixdown
Mixdown is the final step in multitrack recording and allows you to combine multiple
track recordings to L and R channels (two mixes), and copy the data to a master
recorder. The mixdown signal is output from the mixer STEREO OUT L/R connector.
Connect the Inputs of the master recorder to the STEREO OUT L/R.
* Set the D-160 to the default setting.
* This manual assumes that you have already recorded sound sources to all sixteen tracks.
* Refer to the mixer instruction manual for applying effects.
* Connect the master recorder to the mixer STEREO OUT L/R as shown in the diagram.
