STEP 2: MONITOR SETUP

Once your source is connected to an input channel and that channel is assigned to one of the recorder’s tracks, you should set up your

monitor system so that you can monitor the track as it is recorded.

Headphone Monitoring

Monitoring via a pair of headphones connected to the

PHONES jack offers the greatest flexibility and is recom

mended for generai recording. The PHONES SELECT switch

aiiows you to select the desired signal for monitoring as fol

lows:

MONITOR: In this position oniy the output from the recorder’s

four tracks is sent directly to the PHONES jack via the

four MONITOR controls. The MONITOR controls are

used to set up the desired monitor "mix.” This setup is

ideal for general monitoring while recording because it

allows you to set up a monitor mix independently from

the channel faders. Material already recorded on any of

the recorder’s tracks is delivered to the PHONE jack via

the corresponding MONITOR controls as long as the

REG SELECT switches for the playback channels are

set to OFF. The sound of instruments or other sources

assigned to any of the recorder’s tracks is also delivered

to the PHONES jack via the corresponding MONITOR

controls.

Monitoring via a Sound System with Speakers

It is also possible to use a stereo sound system with speakers

or a pair of powered monitor speakers (such as the YAMAHA

MS101 Monitor Speaker System) connected to the MT100 ST

OUT L ahdjR jacks for monitoring. When monitoring via a

sound system in this way, only the stereo output from the

MT100 mixer section can be monitored. This is the same situ

ation as monitoring via headphones with the PHONES SE

LECT switch set to STEREO. The use of a sound system for

monitoring is therefore not recommended for general record

ing, but is highly recommended for mixdown since it allows

you to monitor your mix under conditions that are closer to the

way your final tape will hopefully be heard — via a stereo

sound system and speakers.

Note:Speakers should not be used for monitoring if you will

be recording via microphones, since the monitor sound

will leak into the microphone(s) and spoil the recording.

MIX: Both the output from the recorder’s four tracks (via the

MONITOR controls) and the stereo output from the

mixer section are sent to the PHONES jack.

STEREO: Only the stereo output from the mixer section is

sent to the PHONES jack. This setting is most useful for

mixdown of a completed multitrack recording, since you

want to hear the mix produced by the mixer section’s

channel faders and any effects applied using the AUX

SEND and RTN controls while mixing. Make sure that

no sources are plugged into any of the mixer’s inputs

while mixing, so that the outputs from the recorder sec

tion are routed to the mixer section’s inputs.
