TASCAM DP-006 152 – Quick Start GuidesRecording and masteringHere, we will try multitrack recording.In the following example, we will first explain how to use the built-in mics torecord an acoustic guitar rhythm part on track 3 (by using the built-in stereomicrophone pair to record the acoustic guitar to a stereo track, we can capturereverberations, including from the sound of the guitar body, that add a senseof depth).Next, we will use an electric guitar to record a lead guitar part on track 2. Then,we will use the built-in mics to record singing on track 1. Finally, we will showhow to mix these tracks down to stereo.We assume that you have followed the instructions in the previous section“Playback and mixing” and already connected headphones to this unit, turnedit on and loaded an SD card.TIPThis example uses the built-in mic for recording vocals, but you could alsoconnect an external mic to the INPUT A or INPUT B connector on the rearpanel and record it.Creating a new song1.
