Recording Multiple Tracks
After tracks have been recorded, you may want to record other tracks that play along with them. To
record a new track or tracks with previously recorded tracks, follow these steps:
1. From the preset display, press and hold the SELECT button to enter the SETUP row in the Vx400’s
matrix.
2. Select the sources to record using the USB 1-2 Source knob (additional sources can be selected
using the USB 3-4 Source knob).
3. Press the STOP/UNDO footswitch twice. This will rewind to the beginning of the current song.
4. Press the RECORD footswitch. The Vx400’s display reads
record.Atrack or tracks are
automatically inserted in the current session of the Pro Tracks software and recording on these tracks
begins.
5. To stop recording, press the STOP/UNDO footswitch.
Using the UNDO Footswitch to Erase a Track
You can undo the last take or previous tracks using the Vx400’s footswitches. To undo tracks, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the STOP/UNDO footswitch. The Vx400’s display reads
undo, indicating the last
recorded track(s) are being deleted.
Re-Micing a Vocal Track
Using one of the Dry Microphone configurations for recording gives you the opportunity of playing that
dry take back into the Vx400 for re-processing. The advantages of having this feature are you can
experiment playing the dry vocal take back through different mic models, voice types, effects, or entirely
new presets once you have your other tracks recorded. This helps when trying to fit a vocal effect into a
mix after the song is assembled rather than recording with effects that can’t be undone.
To r e-mic a track back through the Vx400, follow these steps:
1. Put the Vx400 footswitches in Recorder mode by pressing and holding the UP and BYPASS
footswitches until the display reads
rec fs.
2. From the Pro Tracks menu bar, select File>New. The New Project File window will open.
3. Select the Normal-Hands-Free Session project template.
4. Select the SETUP row in the Vx400’s matrix.
5. Use the USB 1-2 Source knob to select
drymic and USB3-4 Source to off.
6. Press the RECORD footswitch. The Vx400’s display reads
record.Atrack is automatically inserted
in the current session of the Pro Tracks™ software and recording on this track begins.
7. To stop recording, press the STOP/UNDO footswitch. The Vx400’s display reads
stop and
recording will stop. Press Stop again to rewind to the beginning of the track.
