94 VS-880EX Application Guide
There are occasions when you have all 8 tracks recorded and you would like to add just one more
instrument or vocal to your song during mixdown. This is a simple process in the VS-880EX using the
[FADER/EDIT] button.
You will first connect your external device to the VS-880EX, connect your DAT recorder, adjust the mix of
your pre-recorded tracks, adjust the level of your incoming source, and then record the final mix to DAT.

4. Make sure that your DAT machine is set to record from its Digital Input (S/P DIF coaxial or

Press the [FADER/EDIT] button until it lights orange and use the faders to adjust the signal
from your external source. Press the [FADER/EDIT] button until it lights green and use the
faders to adjust the level of the recorded Tracks.
