When recording of tracks 1 – 4 is completed, you can adjust the level, EQ, and panning of each
track to create the final stereo mix. This process is called mixdown.
When performing mixdown on the MRS-4, you can either record the completed song on an
external master recorder, or on unused V-takes in the MRS-4. The example in this section explains
how to record on an external master recorder.
Connect the master recorder and make other preparations as follows.
1.
Connect a master recorder (MD or DAT or similar) to the MASTER [L]/[R] jacks.
