REC
Drum Machine
One-Take Recording
The MT50 enables you to record up to four instruments at the same time.
This is useful for recording a live band, as discussed previously. Simply
record the instruments directly into input modules 1 through 4 and add
effects during mixdown.
1. Connect an instrument to MIC/LINE inputs 1 through 4.
2. Set the GAIN switches for Modules 1 through 4 as appropriate.
3. Set each module's CUE slider to about 8.
4. Set each module's REC SEL switch to its number (1, 2, 3, or 4).
The REC indicator starts flashing for each module.
5. Press the PAUSE button.
6. Press the REC button.
The REC indicator lights up.
7. Start up the band.
8. Raise each module's fader gradually.
You should be able to hear the band; each module's level meter should
light up.
9. Set the fader on each module so that the 0 light is on most of the time
and the +6 light comes on occasionally.
The module fader is used to set the recording level and should be set in
conjunction with the level meter. Use the CUE slider and MONI-
TOR/PHONES control to adjust the monitoring levels. These controls
affect only the monitor signals.
10. Press the PAUSE button when you are ready to start recording.
11. Start up the band.
12. When the tune is finished, press STOP to stop recording.
13. Press REW to rewind the tape.
14. Mix down as described on page 13.
You can add effects to each channel separately, adjust the pan controls,
and balance the faders to achieve your desired results. You can also add
reverb to the entire mix for a polished, professional-sounding recording.
