About Record-O-Matic

Your song ideas don’t wait. Record-o-matic doesn’t either.

No mics to set up. No session to configure. Just pick up your phone, hit record, and catch the idea before it’s gone.

Record-o-matic is a 4-track recorder built for the way songs actually start — humming in the kitchen, strumming on the couch, hearing something in your head at 2am. Lay down a first take, overdub a harmony, add a rhythm, build it out. All from the phone already in your pocket.

Instructions

RECORD-O-MATIC™ Four-Track Personal Recording Unit Operating Instructions & Care Guide

Congratulations on your selection of the RECORD-O-MATIC Personal Recording Unit. You now possess a remarkably versatile instrument capable of capturing your musical performances with outstanding clarity and convenience. Please read these instructions carefully before operating your new unit for the first time.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your RECORD-O-MATIC requires no special preparation, external microphones, or additional apparatus of any kind. The unit is ready for immediate operation upon opening. Simply ensure that your device has sufficient battery charge and that you are situated in a reasonably quiet environment for best results.

TRACK SELECTION AND ARMING

Your RECORD-O-MATIC features FOUR independent recording tracks, numbered 1 through 4. To prepare a track for recording, depress the illuminated ARM button adjacent to your desired track. The button will glow RED to indicate the track is armed and standing by. Only one track may be armed at a time, which your unit manages automatically as a convenience to the operator.

RECORDING YOUR FIRST TRACK

With your track armed and ready, depress the REC button on the transport panel. Your RECORD-O-MATIC will provide a brief preparatory interval before capturing your performance — use this moment to compose yourself. Play or sing naturally. When your performance is complete, depress the STOP button. Your recording will be processed and made ready for playback momentarily.

OVERDUBBING — THE MIRACLE OF MULTI-TRACK

Perhaps the most extraordinary feature of your RECORD-O-MATIC is its ability to record additional performances alongside previously recorded tracks. This process, known as OVERDUBBING, allows a single performer to build a complete musical arrangement.

To overdub, simply arm any unoccupied track and depress REC. Your existing recordings will play through your earpiece whilst the unit simultaneously captures your new performance in perfect synchronisation. For finest results, the use of wired earphones is strongly recommended. Wireless earphones introduce a perceptible delay that may interfere with your timing.

TRACK CONTROLS

Each of your four tracks is equipped with the following controls for your convenience:

VOLUME — Adjusts the relative loudness of the track within your mix. Rotate toward maximum for a more prominent performance; reduce to blend the track tastefully into the ensemble.

PAN — Positions the track within the stereo field, from full LEFT to full RIGHT. The centre position is recommended for lead performances.

MUTE — Depressing the M button silences the track entirely during playback without erasing your recording. Useful for comparing performances or isolating individual elements.

DELAY — A fine-adjustment control for track alignment. Should your overdub appear slightly out of step with existing tracks, a small amount of delay correction will bring matters into order.

PLAYBACK

Depress the PLAY button to hear your recordings. The tape counter at the top of the panel displays your current position in minutes and seconds. To return to the beginning, depress the RTZ button. To step back ten seconds, use the SKIP button.

EXPORTING YOUR WORK

Your RECORD-O-MATIC offers two methods of sharing your completed work:

MIXDOWN — Produces a single high-fidelity stereo recording of your complete performance with all tracks blended together. This is the recommended method for sharing your music with others.

EXPORT TRACKS — Delivers each track as an individual recording file for use with professional recording software. Recommended for those who wish to continue production in a more fully appointed studio environment.

SAVING YOUR SESSION

Your RECORD-O-MATIC will preserve your recordings and all control settings for future use. Depress the SAVE button and assign your session a suitable name. Your work will be stored safely for retrieval at any time.

A NOTE ON CARE

Your RECORD-O-MATIC requires no special maintenance. However, the unit will perform best when operated in a stable environment free from excessive noise, vibration, or moisture. Handle your device with the same care and respect you would afford any fine instrument.

ENJOY YOUR RECORD-O-MATIC.

The future of personal recording is in your hands.
