Adding a Narration (Sound-on-Sound)
By means of preread editing with an audio mixer connected (see page 87),
you can mix in an audio signal with the existing recorded soundtrack, but
extension menu item 819 provides a simple sound-on-sound editing
function for adding a narration, using this unit alone.
To add a narration from microphone input
As an example, the following procedure describes how to record a
narration mixed with audio channels 1 and 2 already recorded on the tape,
