BT-300 BT-316M OpGd -2002. p65 020118 - hto BACKTRAKTM QUICKSTART INSTRUCTIONS The BackTrak BT-300 and BT-316M require the following accessories BACKTRACK BASICS RECORD Pushing the STOP and PLAY buttons simultan e o u s l y p u t s t h e B a c k Tr a k TM i n t o " R E C O R D MODE". If the phrase you are sampling is less than 30 seconds, you choose the length of your recording by pressing STOP (just like on a tape recorder). PLAY Pushing PLAY at any time will start the playback of the recorded sample from the beginning. No matter how long your sample (up to 30 seconds), you can repeatedly press play to hear your sample from the beginning. PLAY LIGHT When an audio program is recorded into the BackTrak's memory, the PLAY LED will blink s l o w l y. I f s o u r c e a u d i o i s b e i n g f e d i n t o t h e BackTrak's input and the BackTrakTM is in STOP mode, the audio can be heard through the HEADPHONES or LINE OUT. STOP Pushing the STOP button will stop either recording or playback of the BackTrakTM. Each time the SPEED button is depressed, the indicator LEDs will cycle between FULL, 2/3, 1/2 or 1/3 speed. Since the array of devices you can use as a source of program material will have output levels that vary (such as a cassette or cd player, a radio, a VCR, etc. , via line outs, headphone outs, etc. ), the BackTrak allows you to compensate for low and high line output levels. Simply adjust the RECORD LEVEL so that the recording is loud and clear without distorting. You can adjust this level before or during the recording of a sample; however, we suggest you find an optimal level through experimentation and then record your audio source at that level. NOTE: Each new sample recorded will erase the previously recorded sample!HEADPHONE LEVEL This controls the output volume level of both the sample and your instrument. [. . . ] · Turn the RECORD LEVEL of the BackTrakTM as high as possible without distorting. · When playing along with the recorded loop, adjust the level on your instrument to mix well with the sample level. · For best results, experiment with the HEADPHONE and RECORD LEVEL in order to find the best settings for your setup.
