When more than one Channel is to be recorded onto the same track of a multitrack
recorder, it is necessary to assign all desired Channels to a Group, and connect the
Group Output to the input of the multitrack using the DIRECT OUT SOURCE
feature of the Studio 24.
If you connected the eight DIRECT OUT jacks to the track inputs of your recorder,
you can assign several Channels, via the Groups, to any pair of DIRECT OUTs. Press
the DIRECT OUT SOURCE switch to the GRP position on the Channel that
corresponds to the track you want to record on. This routes all Channels assigned to
a Group to the DIRECT OUT without repatching.
Example: if you want to record Channels 1, 2 and 3 onto track 6 on the multitrack, 1.
assign these Channels to GRP, 2. pan all three Channels hard right and 3. press the
DIRECT OUT SOURCE switch above Channels 5 and 6 to the GRP position. The GRP
2 FADER now controls the overall level of the three Channels going to DIRECT OUT
6.
To record two or more sources to a single track:
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 you wish to record onto the same track to GROUPS
1 and 2 by pressing the GRP button situated next to the Channel FADERs.
If you want to record effects or other devices from a Stereo Aux Return, you may also
press the GRP keys in the STEREO AUX RETURNS section.
3
Use the PAN control on each of the assigned Channels to position the signals
either fully to the left or fully to the right. If the panning is fully left, the Channel
will be routed to Group 1. If the panning is fully right, the Channel will be routed
to Group 2.
4
The appropriate GROUP FADER will now control the level going to tape. Raise
the GROUP FADER to its maximum position. To check the level of the Group on
the Studio 24’s meter, press the GRP 1/2 switch in the CONTROL ROOM
section.
5
Be sure that the Group’s LINK TO L/R switch is in the “Off” position (up).
Otherwise the signal will be assigned to the Main L/R Output directly, instead of
monitoring what’s coming back from the multitrack via the MONITOR 1/2
section.
6
To monitor the track through the multitrack tape machine, place the tape
machine track you are recording on into record or “input” mode, and raise the
MON 1/2 control knob of the Channel the track’s output is connected to.
Be sure the L/R buttons are in the “Off” position (up) for the
Channels being recorded. Otherwise, this may cause the monitoring
to be false if the signals can be heard from two sources: the
Channels and MONITOR 1/2.
