tracks. When you are finished with all recording, save the

project.

Step 4: Mixdown

When you are finished recording all tracks, you can adjust

the volume balance etc. of the rhythm section and recorder

section, and create a finished song.

Preparations

• Connect a master recorder such as an MD or DAT

recorder to the [OUTPUT] (DIGITAL or MASTER)

jacks.

• Load the project that you saved at the end of step

3-2. Alternatively, you can load the project "Sample

3" (number 994) from the hard disk. When the

MRS-1044 is shipped from the factory, this project

contains pre-recorded performances on all tracks.

(For details on loading a project, refer to p.17.) The

track structure of "Sample 3" is shown below.

Here's how to adjust the volume, pan (stereo left/right

position), and EQ for each channel of the mixer section.

Make sure that all status keys (DRUM, BASS, 1 – 6,

7/8, 9/10) are lit green. In addition, press the INPUT

1/2 [ON/OFF] keys to make them go dark.

If the INPUT 1/2 [ON/OFF] keys are turned on, any instruments

connected to the [INPUT 1/2] jacks can also be mixed.
