MT8XII—Owner’s Manual
MIDI Home Studio
In the following MIDI home studio system example, all instruments are recorded to the
MT8XII. Recording the MIDI instruments could be left until the final mixdown, since the MIDI
sequencer provides repeatable playback and is synchronized to the MT8XII using SMPTE time-
code. Having the entire project on an MT8XII tape, however, does simplify media management.

A monitor amp and speakers are used for monitoring. Two external effects processor are con-
nected to the AUX SENDs and ST INPUTs for effects processing. A compressor/limiter is
patched into Input Channel 1 to provide a more consistent level on vocals. A graphic equalizer
is patched in between the STEREO OUTs and the master recorder. During mixdown, the output
of the master recorder can be monitored by setting the TAPE IN switch to TO MONITOR.
