Patch
the
LINE
OUT
jacks
to
the
line
inputs
of
the
master
recorder
(standard
cassette
deck),
making
sure
that
the
L
and
R
designations
on
both
ma¬
chines
match.
2.
For
effects
processing,
patch
the
mono
AUX
SEND
jack
to
the
input
of
the
reverb,
and
patch
the
stereo
output
of
the
reverb
to
the
AUX
RTN
jacks.
3.
Make
sure
that
all
four
REC
SELECT
switches
are
set
to

and
set
the
INPUT
B
switch
to
REMIX.
4.
Switch
all
the
INPUT
SELECT
buttons
to
TRK,
and
set
the
MASTER
fader
to
its
optimum
position
(around
7).
5.
Temporarily
set
all
the
INPUT
B
faders
to
their
optimum
positions,
as
well.
Also
set
all
PAN
and
EQ
controls
to
the
center.
The
fader,
pan
and
EQ
settings
you
make
here
may
not
be
the
ones
you
ultimately
use
for
mixdown,
but
they
provide
a
good
reference
point
to
work
from
while
setting
initial
levels.
6.
Start
playback
by
pressing
PLAY
and
adjust
the
overall

r
AUX
(Auxiliary)
Send
and
Return-
The
AUX
buss
is
an
additional
signal
path
that
lets
you
connect
external
signal
processing
devices
to
the
X-28.
The
most
common
use
for
AUX
send
and
return
would
be
for
applying
varying
degrees
of
reverb
{or
any
other
effect)
to
the
individual
tape
tracks
during
mixdown.
Another
use
would
be
to
apply
an
effect
to
the
input
channel
signal
during
recording.
TheSENDsignalsofeach
track
are
mixed
toa
mono
signal
and
then
sent
to
the
signal
processor
via
the
AUX
SEND
jack.
There
the
mixed
signal
is
pro¬
cessed,
and
returned
to
the
X-28’s
stereo
buss,
!
where
they
are
mixed
with
the
original
“dry”
sound.
The
level
of
each
individual
channel's
AUX
SEND
is
the
first
control
that
determines
how
much
effect
is
applied.
The
next
control
is
the
master
AUX
SEND
control.
Finally,
the
AUX
RETURN
control
deter¬
mines
the
level
of
the
processed
signal
that
is
received
by
the
X-28.
USING
A
MONO
AUX
RETURN:
If
the
reverb
unit
you’re
using
has
only
a
mono
output,
connect
it
to
one
of
the
INPUT
A
channels
and
set
the
PAN
control
of
the
channel
to
the
center
position.
Also,
make
surethatthe
AUX
control
of
that
7.
Now
that
you’ve
made
the
basic
mixdown
adjust¬
ments,
try
adding
some
reverb
to
the
recording.
First,
make
sure
that
all
AUX
SEND
controls
for
the
tape
tracks
are
set
to
0
(center
position).
Also,
set
the
AUX
RTN
and
AUX
SEND
master
controls
to
around
5.
These
are
merely
temporary
reference
settings
until
you
start
playback
again
and
begin
experimenting
with
various
reverb
levels.
8.
Play
the
recording
again
and
adjust
each
of
the
individual
AUX
SEND
controls
of
the
tape
tracks
in
succession,
to
achieve
the
right
reverb
balance.
Keep
in
mind
that
the
center
position
of
the
AUX
SEND
controls
tor
the
tape
tracks
is
0,
and
the
maxi
mum
settin
g
is
all
the
way
to
the
right.
(Turning
the
controls
to
the
left
will
have
no
effect
in
this
situation.)
The
AUX
SEND
signals
of
each
track
are
mixed
to
a
mono
signal
and
sent
to
the
reverb
unit.
They
are
processed
there
and
returned
to
the
X-28's
stereo
buss,
where
they
are
mixed
with
the
original
“dry”
sound.
Note:
The
reverb
unit
itself
will
probably
have
input
and
output
level
controls
which
should
be
ad¬
justed
in
conjunction
with
the
send
and
return
controls
on
the
X-28.
channel
is
set
to
0,
and
that
the
fader
and
TRIM
control
are
set
to
suitable
levels.
USING
THE
A
UXSEND
FOR
STEREO
MONITOR¬
ING:
You
can
also
use
the
AUX
SEND
controls
to
send
signals
to
the
monitor
buss.
This
is
useful
for
keep¬
ing
the
monitor
signals
in
the
center
when
using
stereo
recording.
Make
sure
the
master
AUX
SEND
control
and
the
individual
AUX
SEND
controls
on
the
appropriate
channels
are
turned
up.
Monitor
the
tape
tracksby
turning
the
AUX
SENDcontrols
on
the
INPUT
B
channels
toward
TRK.
USING
THE
AUX
RETURN
JACKS
AS
ADDI¬
TIONAL
INPUTS:
The
two
AUX
RETU
RN
j
acks
can
be
used
to
expand
the
number
of
available
inputs
on
the
X-28
to
ten.
This
allows
you
to
simultaneously
record
up
to
ten
sources.
However,
doing
this
forces
you
to
sacrifice
control
over
the
panning
of
the
two
additional
inputs
(one
will
be
sent
to
the
left,
the
other
to
the
right
of
the
stereo
buss).
It
also
eliminates
the
use
of
the
AUX
buss
for
effects
processing,
at
least
at
the
time
those
sources
are
being
recorded.
(You
can,
of
course,
use
the
AUX
buss
for
effects
at
mixdown.)
