Multitrack recording is a term for the series of processes in which you record various sound sources to different
tracks and combine them into two mixes (L and R). This recording involves an important process called “overdubbing,”
in which you record additional sound sources to different tracks while monitoring the input sound and listening to
the recorded sound. The following procedure assumes that you have already recorded a rhythm section using a
drum machine on Track 1.

Multitrack recording using overdubbing
Ping-pong recording is a recording process in which you mix the playback sound of multiple tracks and record the
mix on an empty track. Ping-pong recording enables you to use previously-recorded tracks in a new recording. In
this way, you can overdub more sound sources using a limited number of tracks. The following procedure explains
how to ping-pong record the sound sources recorded on Tracks 1-6 to Tracks 7 and 8. Once you ping-pong record
the tracks, you cannot apply effects to the individual tracks. If necessary, apply effects on the mixer prior to ping-
pong recording.
1. Press the [RECORD TRACK] select key of the desired
overdubbing track to set it in READY mode.
The “ready” track’s indicator (a small square) flashes
on the display.
2. Press the [RECORD] button once.
The ready tracks enter input monitoring status, and
the other tracks enter playback monitoring status.
3. Press the [PLAY] button to play the Program from
the beginning. (Rehearsal)
Adjust the level of the playback monitoring sound
(rhythm sound on Track 1) on the mixer. Play the
sound source to overdub and adjust the recording
level on the mixer.
4. When you finish rehearsing, locate the top of the
Program for the actual take.
5. Press and hold down the [RECORD] button and
press the [PLAY] button. (Take)
Play the sound source accompanying the Track 1
sound in the same way as during the rehearsal.
6. When you finish overdubbing, stop this unit, locate
the top of the Program, and play the overdubbed
sound as explained in the “Basic Recording And
Playback.”
If you are not satisfied with your overdubbing, perform
the Undo function and record again.
In the same way, overdub the necessary tracks.
1. Set all tracks to the SAFE status.
2. Locate the top of the Program on this recorder.
3. Set the master recorder to REC-STANDBY mode.
4. Play the Program from the beginning and adjust
the recording level on the master recorder while
adjusting the tonal quality and mix balance of the
playback sound from the mixer. (Rehearsal)
Adjust the input level on the master recorder so that
the STEREO OUT L/R meters on the mixer respond to
the same degree as the level meters on the master
recorder.
5. Locate the top of the Program.
6. Start recording on the master recorder. (Take)
7. Press the [PLAY] button on this recorder to start
