The Recording System
The PORTASTUDIO 414 MKII is a complete audio
production facility in a single box. It is divided into
two major sections: a full-function mixer and a 4-
channel, multitrack cassette recorder.
To complete the recording system, you'll additionally
need these: input devices (microphones,
instruments), output devices (headphones), 2 track
recorder, effects processors, etc.
The Three Steps to Multitrack
In TRACKING and OVERDUBBING, the mixer
inputs are usually microphones or instruments, going
to different tracks of the recorder.
In OVERDUBBING, the MONITOR section and
TAPE CUE of the mixer must be used to listen to
previous tracks while you record new ones, so there
is a two-way flow through the console.
In MIXDOWN, signal comes from the multitrack
and is sent to an external 2-track recorder.
