7. Play the master keyboard and set the input level to the audio track by adjusting the Level Fader on the ID8 1
Mix Channel strip in the mixer.
Adjusting the instrument’s level to the audio track.
! A Volume setting of -0.0 dB on the instrument device and a Level Fader setting of -0.0 dB on its corresponding
Mix Channel strip in the mixer is often the optimal setting to avoid audio signal clipping. As when recording ex-
ternal audio, it’s the track’s Input Meter that should be observed for any clipping.
8. Start recording audio on the audio track according to the description in “Recording audio”.
q By using the recording method described above, it’s also possible to record the audio from previously re-
corded note clips on instrument tracks.
Recording a mixdown of several audio tracks
Another useful feature is to record a real-time mixdown of several previously recorded audio tracks onto a new, ad-
ditional audio track. This is sometimes also referred to as recording stems or sub-mixes. Let’s say we have four back-
ing vocal tracks that we want to mix down and record on a new audio track. We can do this as follows:
1. Create a new audio track according to the description in “Creating an audio track”.
This is the track we’re going to use for recording the mixdown. We name the track “Mixdown” to make it easier to
distinguish.
2. Locate the Master Section device in the rack and click its “Rec Source” button.
The “Rec Source” button on the Master Section device.
This will allow you to record the output from the Master Section onto the new audio track.
