CHAPTER Basic operation (Start recording)
STEP 1: Direct Recording
In STEP 1, we will explain how to record four different sound sources to four tracks
simultaneously using a direct recording technique. You can also record one sound source
to track 1, then record a second sound source to track 2 while monitoring the recorded data
on track 2, This overdubbing technique is explained in STEP 3 and 4.

What is direct recording?
In direct recording, the input signal is sent directly to the recorder section.
Use of the [REG SELECT] switch is different from that in normal multitrack recording.
This technique is very useful in recording channel 1-4 input signals to four tracks
simultaneously, such as the recording of a four-piece band (drums, bass, keyboard, and
guitar, etc.).
The example here has the following relationship between the input sound sources and
recording tracks:
Channel 1 input signal (drums)
Channel 2 input signal (bass guitar)
Channel 3 input signal (guitar)
_ Channel 4 input signal (keyboard)

☆ Turn the power on to the XR-7.
☆ Before you begin, initialize the controls of the XR-7.
