Recording Multiple Sources to One Track

When more than one Channel is to be recorded onto the same track of a multitrack

recorder, it is necessary to assign all desired Channels to a Group, and connect the

Group Output jack to the input of the multitrack.

If you’re recording no more than 4 tracks at a time, you may find it easier to use the

Groups even if you’re recording one source per track, since you won’t have to repatch

as you would if you use the Direct Outs.

To record two or more sources to a single track:

1 With microphones or instruments connected to the desired input channels, set

the input level correctly (see page 45, Setting Levels).

2 Assign each of the Channels you wish to record onto the same track to GROUPS

1 and 2 by pressing the 1/2 button situated next to the Channel FADERs.

If you want to record effects or other devices from a Stereo Aux Return, you may

also press the ASSIGN keys in the Stereo Aux Return section.

3 Use the PAN control on each of the assigned Channels to position the signals

either fully to the left or fully to the right. If the panning is fully left, the

Channel will be routed to Group 1. If the panning is fully right, the Channel

will be routed to Group 2.

4 The GROUP FADER will now control the level going to tape. Raise the

GROUP FADER to its maximum position. To check the level of the group on the

Studio 32’s meter, press the GRP 1/2 switch in the control room section.

5 Be sure that the Group’s TO L/R switch is in the “Off” position (up).

Otherwise the signal will be assigned to the Main L/R Output directly, instead

of monitoring what’s coming back from the multitrack via the MONITOR 1/2

section.

6 To monitor the track through the multitrack tape machine, place the tape

machine track you are recording on into record or “input” mode, and raise the

MONITOR 1/2 control the track’s output is connected to.

Be sure the L/R buttons are in the “Off” position (up) for the Channels being

recorded. Otherwise, this will cause the monitoring to be false since the signals

will be heard from two sources: the Channels and MONITOR 1/2.
