How Do You Mix On A 4-Track Recorder?
Using a 4-track recorder to mix music is a great way to become familiar with recorders and to learn how to mix basic sounds and instruments. Essentially, you want to load three tracks with sounds or instruments, and you want to mix and use the fourth track to combine and send the combined recording to a blank disc. Load three different sounds or instruments into the first three tracks. A good choice for these would be acoustic guitar, bass and a vocal track. Do this by hitting the record key and playing the instrument of your choice. If you don’t have this ability, play a recording of the instrument, song or track you want to use. Adjust the equalizers (EQ) for each track to sound however you like. Once you have them all where you want them, you can play them all back to see how it sounds together. Determine the volume levels of all the sounds. Play the tracks back together and make sure no one instrument is overwhelming the others and make sure the vocals are clear and slightly forwar
