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.
