== The Basics for Recording ==

I record our gigs with the Zoom H4 Recorder while using two {{T1}}s. Using two T1s enables me to record separate channels (left and right) into the Zoom H4 Recorder. With two guitar cables, I run one T1's AUX-OUT to the Left Channel of the H4 Recorder and the second T1's AUX-OUT to the Right Channel of the H4. Thus, I end up with 8 T1 channels running into my Zoom H4 Recorder with the ability to record all 8 channels, or a mix of them.

Enabling AUX output on the T1

# Turn the T1’s Master Selector knob to “AUX”.

# Press the Channel Select button of the channel you wish to route the input signal from to the AUX connector.

# Note in the T1’s display whether the channel is muted or not. If muted, press the knob buttom underneath the display to un-mute the channel.

# Use the knob button to adjust the percentage of the signal you want at the AUX connector. You can have 0% to 100% of the signal routed to the AUX connector. Use this method to control your “recording” mix of channels routed to the T1’s AUX connector.

# Refer to your T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine instructions for information regarding the “Dry” options.

With the Zoom H4 connected and used as a recorder in this configuration you can expect to get exactly what you would hear from the T1 AUX OUT connector. Provided you have enabled the AUX output on each T1 channel, you’ll hear what is plugged into the input of that channel, whether it’s a microphone, iPod, guitar, etc. To enable the AUX ~~OUTput~~ on each channel you want to record, [[Media:take a brief look at this video]].

The “mix” of all your T1 channels will be present at the T1 AUX OUT connector. Therefore, you need to ensure your channel “mix” on the T1 is the way you want to record all the channels coming from the T1. To establish your T1 AUX OUT “mix”, [[follow this link to setting the AUX OUT levels.]] If you have a “Hot” channel, but don’t really realize it when listening to the L1’s output, you’ll have a “Hot” channel on your recording. A way to determine this is to plug in a set of headphones to the AUX OUT connector and listen during sound check. Be careful of the headphone volume. Don’t blow your ears out!
