Overdubbing

Using MONITOR 1/2 to Monitor the Multitrack

Once you have recorded onto the multitrack tape machine, you’ll need to hear the

playback of those tracks, as you record new tracks in sync with the material

already on tape (see next section, Getting the Mix to Headphones). The signals

coming back from the multitrack tape machine connect to the TAPE IN connectors of

each channel, and during the overdubbing stage you’ll usually hear them via the

MONITOR 1/2 system.

To listen to tape tracks via MONITOR 1/2:

1 Place the tracks of the tape machine you wish to monitor into the “Tape” or

“Playback” position.

2 Make sure the MIC-LINE/TAPE switches above the MONITOR 1/2 PAN pots

are up (TAPE position). Raise the MONITOR 1/2 LEVEL controls being used for

the tape tracks you want to hear.

3 Select MON 1/2 as the Control Room Source and turn the CONTROL ROOM

control up to the desired listening level.

Alternatively, you may select L/R as the Control Room source, and press the

“LINK TO L/R” switch under the MONITOR 1/2 MASTER. This will allow

you to hear other sources from the channel faders if they are assigned to L/R.

4 Play the tape and raise the MONITOR 1/2 MASTER until the peaks of the

signal briefly light the yellow LEDs in the meters.
