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. Usually this is done simply by taking the tracks out of

Record mode.

2 Make sure the CHAN/MON REVERSE button is up on each Channel that will be

used to monitor the tape tracks. Raise the MON 1/2 LEVEL knobs on each

Channel being used for the tape tracks you want to hear.

3 Select MON 1/2 as the Control Room Source.

Tip: 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.

5Turn the CONTROL ROOM control knob up to the desired listening level.
