Fostex X-28 - Recording the First Track

Recording the First Track — Rhythm Machine
1. First, make sure that all controls on the X-28 are at
their minimum or OFF settings. Most importantly,
this means that all faders should be down, the
MONITOR control should be at 0, the REC SE¬
LECT switches should be at the center (OFF)
position, and the TRIM controls should be set to
-10. Also, make sure that the MONITOR select
switch is setto one of the “LINE” settings (MONMIX
+ LINE or AUX + LINE).
2. Make the necessary connections for listening to, or
“monitoring" your recording. Hyou are using a set of
stereo headphones, plug them into the PHONES
jack. If you are using an amplifier/speaker system,
connect it to the MON OUT jacks on the X-28.
Headphone monitoring is convenient, and some¬
times even necessary — when recording vocals
and acoustic instruments — in orderto avoid feed¬
back from microphones. However, a good ampli¬
fier/speaker system provides the best and most
accurate listening source and should be used
whenever possible.
3. Plug the output of the rhythm machine into the
INPUT 1 jack.
4. S witch the leftmost REC SELECT switch to 1 and
press the REC button. In the display, the number 1
REC TRACK indicator and the REC indicator flash
together, indicating that track 1 is set up for record¬
ing and that the signal can be monitored on the level
meter for track 1.
