Recording

STUDIO 24 REFERENCE MANUAL 5 5

Tip: Note that the overall level of Channels panned left is controlled by the GRP 1

FADER; the overall level of Channels panned right is controlled by the GRP 2

FADER. So if you’re not getting signal from one or more Channels, check their

PAN knobs. In this example, Channels 1, 2 and 3 must be panned hard right to

be correctly routed to DIRECT OUT 6. If they’re panned left, they will be routed

to DIRECT OUT 5. Also, when you’re recording multiple sources to one track

using this method, make sure that all channels are panned hard to the left or

right as appropriate. This ensures that the PAN controls don’t reduce the output

level of the Channels by panning signal away from the GRP FADER.

RECORDING MULTIPLE SOURCES TO TWO TRACKS

(STEREO)

Recording multiple sources onto two tape tracks is simple – you just use the Groups.

Pan hard left all channels going to Group 1, and pan hard right all channels going to

Group 2. You can pan each channel to obtain the proper stereo positioning between

left and right.

To record multiple sources to two tracks in stereo:

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

the input level correctly (see page 51, Setting Levels).

2 Assign each of the Channels (or Aux Returns – remember that you can use the

four STEREO AUX RETURNS jacks as extra instrument inputs) you wish to

record onto the same track of tape to GROUPS 1 and 2 by pressing the GRP

button situated next to the Channel FADER (or below the AUX RETURN LEVEL

knob).

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

desired between the left (Group 1) and right (Group 2).

4 The GROUP 1 and GROUP 2 FADERS will now control the levels going to tape.

Raise them to the full up position (0).

5 Be sure that the Groups’ LINK TO L/R buttons are in the “Off” position (up).

Otherwise the signals will be assigned to the Main Output directly, instead of

monitoring what’s coming back from the multitrack on the Channel fader.

6 If you have the eight DIRECT OUTS connected to your multitrack, try the

following method:

Press the DIRECT OUT SOURCE switch down (to the GRP position) on the

Channels that correspond to the track numbers you’re recording on. This routes

the GRP outputs to the DIRECT OUTS (as well as the GRP OUTS). Example: to

record Channels 1 - 4 onto tracks 7 and 8, press the DIRECT OUT SOURCE

switch at the top of Channels 7 and 8: this routes all Channels that have their

GRP switches down to DIRECT OUTS 7 and 8. This handy little feature allows

you to record any Channel to any DIRECT OUT without repatching.

When using this method, note that the overall level of Channels panned left is

controlled by the GRP 1 FADER; the overall level of Channels panned right is

controlled by the GRP 2 FADER.

7 To monitor the tracks through the multitrack tape machine, place the tape
