or

Recording with effects
Professional recordings often use effects like digital
reverberation on vocals, etc.
You can add effects such as a reverberation by
plugging a source (instrument or microphone) into an
effects unit, and plugging the unit into the MF-P01.
Note that the effects unit must be able to accept
microphone-level signals when connecting a
microphone.
In addition, you will need to use the internal balance
control in the unit to decide how much of the "dry"
(unaffected) sound will be passed through to the
MF-P01 for recording.
If you do not have access to a reverberation unit, you
can try recording vocals in a very "live" room
(without many furnishings).
When you’re not recording
Try to get into the habit of always leaving all the REC
FUNCTION switches in the "off" state unless you are
actually recording or rehearsing a take.
This will stop you recording by accident (remember
that pressing RECORD with all the REC
FUNCTION switches to "off" is the same as pressing
PLAY).
Recording more than four tracks
Although the MF-P01 has only 4 tracks, it is possible
to produce a mix with more than four sounds. There
are two methods, as shown below.
Method 1:
• By playing along with the track sounds while
mixdown recording, you can also mix an additional
sound together with tracks 1 through 4.
In this case, the "live" sound is fed via the MIC/
LINE input, so it is always positioned in the center.
1) Record on all four tracks of the MF-P01, and set
all REC FUNCTION switches to "off".
2) Adjust settings of LEVEL and PAN for all tracks
for mixdown.
3) Connect the source for the extra input to the MIC/
LINE jack.
4) Use the INPUT LEVEL fader to adjust the levels
of the input signals against the tape tracks.
5) Adjust the recording level of the master recorder
using the MASTER control of the MF-P01 or the
input level control of the master recorder.
Method 2:
For this method, there must be an ordinary stereo
cassette recorder used as the master recorder.
1) Make mixdown recording to a TYPE II cassette
tape with no noise reduction according to the pro-
cedures described in "Mixing down tracks" on
page 12.
2) Load this mixed tape in the MF-P01.
The mixed-down signals are played back from
tracks 1 and 2, and you can now record additional
materials on tracks 3 and 4.
There are a few points to remember:
• Although you can repeat this process of mixing 4
tracks to 2 and then adding 2 more, as you repeat
the mix process, noise and hiss will build up to a
point where the quality becomes unacceptable.
• The master recorder must have its noise reduction
turned off when mixing the MF-P01 tracks to the
mastering machine, as the MF-P01 does not use
noise reduction. Of course, on the final stereo mix,
you can use noise reduction on the master recorder.
• Once you have mixed the four tracks to two, you
cannot adjust their levels or pan positions again on
the new tape. Think ahead to what tracks you will
record on the new tape, and mix accordingly.
