Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS16
Mixdown procedure
1. Make sure that the master recorder is connected to the MASTER OUT jacks or the DIGITAL OUT
jack.
2. Turn off all of [RECORD SELECT] keys 1–16.
3. Play back the song from the beginning on the DPS16, and adjust the channel faders, the [TRACK PAN]
knobs, and the master fader to appropriate positions.
At this time, you can check the output levels of the tracks and the output level of the Master L/R by observing
the level meters on the Main screen. Adjust the channel faders and the master fader so that the Master L/R
output level does not reach the maximum level.
4. When you are satisfied with the level and pan settings, rewind the song to the top.
5. Start recording on the master recorder, then start playback on the DPS16.
6. When the end of the song is reached, stop the master recorder and the DPS16.
Using Mixer mode
As explained thus far, you can use the [TRACK PAN] knobs and the channel faders to adjust panning and levels of
TRACK MIX channels 1–16 of the mixer section. However, the mixer section offers more mix parameters. For
example, each of TRACK MIX channels 1–16 has a three-band EQ and the AUX send 1–4 parameters. These mix
parameters are controlled in Mixer mode. This section explains how to use Mixer mode during mixdown.
1. Press the [MIXER] key.
The DPS16 enters Mixer mode and displays the following screen. This is a Control View page that indicates
some mix parameters for all channels.
