Model X-34 Owner’s Manual
For example, part of the electric bass recorded on track 2 will be replaced during overdubbing.
We assume that you have already loaded a prerecorded tape in the X-34 and rewound to the beginning of the recorded
tracks.

The MON MIX
indicator lights up.
8. Use the MON MIX/AUX and PAN knobs to adjust
the output and stereo image for each track.
9. Step on the foot switch when you reach the
punch-in point and play your part.
The REC indicator flashes faster. Only track 2 will
enter input monitor mode. This means that you can
hear the new bass part on track 2 along with the
playback sound from other tracks.
10. Step on the foot switch again when you wish
to punch out.
The REC indicator flashes more slowly, and the
X-34 enters input monitoring mode.
11. When you finish rehearsing, stop the transport
by pressing the STOP button and rewind the
tape.
Because no recording takes place during rehearsal,
repeat the process up to this point to set the recording
level and get your playing technique down, and also
practice the timing of the punch in and out. Punching
in and out in tempo (on strong beats) can help
camouflage the edit.
1. Plug the optional foot switch into the PUNCH
IN/OUT jack.
2. Advance the tape to a point just before where
new material is to be inserted.
3. Plug the electric bass into the front panel LINE
IN/INSERT jack 2.
Rehearsing the Punch In
4. Make sure the Track Down indicator is turned
off, then place track 2 in REC READY mode by
pressing the REC TRK switch 2.
The REC TRK 2 indicator on channel 2 lights up,
and the REC indicator flashes slowly.
5. Raise the channel 2 input/playback level fader
to adjust the recording level while you play the
electric bass.
6. You can adjust the overall headphones or
monitor volume using the MONITOR knob and
the channel 2 MON MIX/AUX knob.
7. Press the PLAY button to start playback.
