Mixdown
After overdubbing and ping-pong recording, you can mix all tracks data into two channel stereo data and
record it onto your master recorder. This final process of multitrack recording is called “mixdown.”
The mixdown signals are usually output from the mixer’s STEREO OUT L/R. Connect the master recorder
inputs to the STEREO OUT L/R connectors.

Recording in a new program
The explanation so far has been based on one program set up when you format a current drive (E-IDE hard
disk or SCSI disk). You may create up to 99 programs, depending on the available disk space. Multiple
programs do not interfere with each other. You can record, play, and edit each program independently,
which facilitates song management. This section explains how to set up a new program on the disk. Refer
to the main Owner’s Manual for more information regarding programs.
