2. Use the DATA wheel to select (highlight) the MASTER REC item.

3. Press the F4 [EXEC] button.

After a Master Rec! pop-up message appears, the recorder switches

to master recording mode and the Home Screen reopens.

At this point, if you start playback or recording, you will be able to hear

the mixed track signals (including signals that will be recorded) through

headphones or an external monitoring system (powered monitor

speakers or an amplifier and speakers).

NOTE

When in master recording mode, MASTER REC appears highlighted at

the top left of the Home Screen.

If you try to switch to master recording mode when the length of the

interval between IN and OUT points is less than four seconds, a Trk Too
Short

(track is too short) pop-up message appears and master recording

mode will not be activated.

You cannot change the IN and OUT points when in master recording mode.

Playback and some other functions do not work when the unit is in master

recording mode. If you try to use one of these functions, an In Master
Mode

pop-up message appears.

4. While pressing and holding the Record (0) button, press the Play (7)

button to start creating a stereo master track. The Record (0) indicator

lights.

Regardless of the recorder position, the part of the song between the IN

and OUT points will be recorded as the stereo master track.

As necessary, use the LEVEL and TRACK 1/2 PAN and TRACK 3/4 PAN

(BAL) knobs to adjust the mix. These adjustments will affect the recorded

stereo master track.

Creating a stereo master track automatically ends when the recorder

reaches the OUT point.

5. If you want to redo creation of the stereo master track, press the Play (7)

button again while pressing and holding the Record (0) button.

This will create a new stereo master track, overwriting and deleting the

previous one.

NOTE

After recording a stereo master track, you can play it back to check it. (See

“Checking stereo master tracks” on page 74.)

You can undo the creation of a stereo master track. So, after re-recording

the stereo master track several times, you can go back and choose one

that was previously recorded.

6. Press the REC MODE button to open the RECORDER MODE screen,

and use the DATA wheel to return the recorder to MULTI TRACK mode.
