‚ OVERDUBBING
Overdubbing is the process of recording a new track (or new tracks) while monitoring previously recorded tracks. If you're only
planning to record a maximum of four tracks, you can go ahead and overdub the second, third and fourth tracks. If you're planning
to use the 'ping-pong" recording technique to record more than four parts, however, record only three tracks and then move on to
the ping-pong step (see "PING-PONG RECORDING" on page 15).
1. Plug the instrument or other source to be recorded into an
available channel input.

2. Make sure that the REC SELECT switches of previously-
recorded tracks are set to OFF so that previously recorded
tracks aren't erased when the new track is recorded.
3. Set up the channel-to-track assignment for the new track.
4. Check your monitor settings to ensure that you can monitor
the previously recorded track(s) as well as the new track to
be recorded (the MONITOR
SELECT switch should nor-
mally be set to MONITOR.)
5. Set the recording level for the new track.
6. You can now "rehearse" the overdub without actually re-
cording
by simply
playing
back
the
already-recorded
track(s) and playing the new part. When MONITOR select
is in the MONITOR position, it is not possible to hear input
source unless MT100II's transport is in RECORD or REC-
ORD/PAUSE.
If you are not ready to actually record your
overdub, and would like to hear the new input source along
with previously recorded tracks, set the MONITOR select
switch to the MIX position.
7. Make sure the tape is rewound to the beginning of the
piece and start recording.
These steps are simply repeated to overdub tracks 3 and 4.
