How to Record a Mix onto Two
Tracks Simultaneously
If you want to record multiple sources onto two
tracks, you use the channel PAN controls to send
them to LEFT or RIGHT (or anywhere in between, if
you're making a stereo mix). The track RECORD
FUNCTION switches choose what track the Left and
Right mixes will be recorded on. Note that in this
method, the mixer channel number has nothing to do
with what track the instrument winds up on. Any
mixer channel can be panned to any track.
These mixer channels are being sent
to the LEFT, for recording on either
Track 1 or Track 3.
These mixer channels are being sent
to the RIGHT, for recording on either
Track 2 or Track 4.
■ Press the MONITOR L-R switch on.
Recording is the same procedure as for one track. In
the example above, set the RECORD FUNCTION
switch for track 3 to L, and the switch for track 4 to
R, to record on these two tracks simultaneously.
Restrictions : The 414 MKII mixer section has only
two main mixes, Left and Right. For this reason, you
can record only two tracks at once while you're
recording a mix of instruments (for example, two
instruments on track 1, three instruments on track 2).
Also, you can record a mix only on combinations or
even/odd numbered tracks (1 & 2, 1 & 4, 2 & 3 etc.).
If the RECORD FUNCTION switch for track 1 and
that for track 3 are both set to L, the two tracks will
both record the same mix.
Recording the stereo channels (5-6 and 7-8):
It is possible to record up to six sources
simultaneously, using the four standard mixer
channels plus the two pairs of stereo channels. The
stereo channel's signal is sent to the stereo mix bus
passing through the LEVEL control, so the signal is
recorded along with any other channels' signals sent
to the stereo left and right buses. Since there is no
PAN control, the stereo channel's signal is set to the
"hard left" and "hard right" position.
