This section explains how to play recorded audio tracks
as well as drum/bass track sounds and record them as a
stereo mix on a master track (mixdown).
About the master track
The master track is a set of stereo tracks that are separate
from the normal tracks 1 – 16. The most common use of
the master track is as a track on which the end result of a
mixdown process is recorded. The contents of the master
track can then be used to create an audio CD.
When you switch the master track to the recording
condition, the signal after passing the [MASTER] fader
(the same signal as available from the MASTER
OUTPUT jacks) is sent to the master track.
The MRS-1608 offers one master track for each project.
Similar to the regular tracks 1 – 16, the master track also
has ten virtual tracks (V-takes). This allows you to record
different mixes on several V-takes and select the optimum
take later.
HINT
It is possible to play the master tracks of several projects
recorded on the hard disk in succession (
p. 177).
Master track mixdown steps
Here’s how to mix recorder tracks and the rhythm section
sound onto two stereo channels and record these on the
master track.
1.
If required, refer to page 35 and select the
desired V-take for the master track.
2.
From the main screen, press the [MASTER]
status key repeatedly until the key is lit in
red.
The master track is now ready for recording.
3.
Start recorder playback and adjust the
mixing balance of the various tracks.
The individual track level settings as well as the insert
effect and send/return effect settings all have an influence
on the signal that is sent to the master track. Adjust levels
while watching the L/R level meter, and make sure that
no signal clipping occurs.
4.
To carry out the mixdown operation, press
the ZERO [U
] key to return to the
beginning of the song, and then press the
PLAY [R
] key while holding down the REC
[O
] key.
Recording on the master track starts.
5.
When recording is complete, press the
STOP [P
] key.
HINT
You can start the mixdown operation from a point within the
song. Only the data in the recorded range are overwritten.
Playing the master track
To play the recorded master track, proceed as follows.
1.
From the main screen, press the [MASTER]
status key repeatedly until the key is lit in
green.
The master track is now ready for playback. In this mode,
all other tracks are muted, and all effects are switched off.
HINT
While the [MASTER] status key is lit in green, the transport
section keys except for the REC [
O
] key operate normally.
