Re: Matching overdub volumes on RC-20XL
Hi Scott
Good to hear of another XL owner out there!
I'm impressed with this machine - let's keep exchanging ideas
I think you can do what you want - by either adjusting the Mic or Inst
level knob...and/or by putting yourself through a mini mixing desk
before it goes into the XL
but I'm new here so take this with pinch 'o salt
Best
Piers
