2 - Quick Guide

TIP

• Press the STOP (8) and REW (m) buttons at the

same time to use the TO ZERO function to return to the

beginning of the song (ZERO point).

• If you press the wrong button and open a different screen,

you can press the HOME button to return to the Home

screen at any time.

Recording and mastering

In this section we will practice multitrack recording.
Here we will explain how to connect electric guitars to

INPUT H and external microphones to INPUT B.
In the following example, we will explain how to record

an electric guitar rhythm part to track 1 and a lead guitar

part to track 2. Then, we will use an external microphone

to record vocals to track 3. Finally, we will mix down the

tracks to stereo.
We will assume that you have already followed the

instructions in the previous section, and that you have

connected headphones or other monitoring equipment,

started the unit and inserted an SD card.
