....How do i record the SOLO function? ...
-----------------------------------------------
Solo usually only works through the monitor feed, so the best way I've found is this-
With your console hooked up to your monitor power amp in the usual way, take some speaker wire and solder a quarter inch plug (or rca plug depending on what kind of inputs go to your recorder) onto one end of the wire. Plug this into one track input of your recorder.
Then hook the other end of the speaker wire to your power amp that normally powers your monitors (you will unhook one of your monitor speakers to do this). In this hookup, you'll have one speaker wire from your receiver going to your recorder and the other speaker wire still goes to ONE of your monitors.
Now, to get the best signal level, turn your power amp up to it's highest setting. Also raise all your console sliders to all full up. Set the recorder to record the activated track. Activate all the solo buttons on your console (per the discussion earlier in this post) and start recording.
If you've hooked this up correctly, all the level indicators in your console will be pegged to their topmost levels (should be all showing red). Your recorder meters should look similar. This will then allow you to record that great 60's-70's solo-sound that we've all enjoyed on records through the years.
