Making your first recording
8 When you reach the end of the rhythm
track, stop the rhythm machine, press the
[PAUSE] button, and then press the [STOP]
button. Rewind the tape to the zero posi-
tion (where you started the recording).
Turn down track 2’s [TRIM] control and
disconnect the rhythm machine .
9 IMPORTANT! Press the [REC/OL] button
for track 2 to make it safe, and prevent you
from recording over it.
When you start recording, you will record
on any “armed” track, with its [REC/OL]
button pressed, even if nothing is con-
nected to the track inputs! Remember to
“disarm” (or “safe”) a track when you have
finished recording it.

Recording a bass
1 Connect your bass to the [TR 1] input.
2 Play your bass and adjust the [TRIM] con-
trol for track 1 so that the [TRIM] indicator
only lights briefly on the very loudest
notes.
3 Now we’ll use the effects. Turn on the effect
for track 1, using the track’s [EFFECT]
switch.
Select an amplifier/speaker model using
the Ampworks rotary control:
There is no “right” or “wrong” model to
choose here; different amplifier models suit
different guitars and playing styles. Experi-
ment until you find the basic sound that
suits you best.
4 You can add an effect such as chorus, to
thicken up the sound, using the Ampworks
rotary control:
Use the Ampworks controls to adjust the
tone of the bass, as well as the gain and
amount of effect if you use one.
For full details of how to use the Amp-
works effect, see the appropriate section
(
→p.14).
5 Prepare the track for recording (“arm” it)
using the [REC/OL] button, and adjust the
fader as you did for the rhythm machine
(so that the [REC/OL] indicator barely
lights on the loudest bass passages).
6 Press [PLAY] and play the bass part along
with the recorded rhythm part.
Use the fader of track 2 (the rhythm track)
to adjust the relative levels, so that you can
hear the bass, while still having the rhythm
section loud enough to play in time.
7 Record the bass part as you did the rhythm
part. Remember to “safe” the track by
pressing the [REC/OL] button when
you’re done.
