We would like to mix dubs in the old four track vintage style. What would be the best approach, given, that we have our tracks on the M12? We would like to use four groups, like drums/bass/keyboards/guitars, which originally may reside on eight single tracks. If i'm right, tracks 1 and 2 would be for drum and bass, and tracks 5 to 8 would hold the keyboards and guitars. So we could maybe groupt them for the unused tracks 4 and 5? So basically my question is, how would we group tracks 5 and 6 into track 3, and 7 and 8 to track 4? Of course we would need those upper tracks 5 to 8 to be quiet, since they are supposed to be heard at 3 anf 4.
We also could do this in the DAW, but if it's doable on the Tascam, it would be more stylish. See my diagram, how we would like to have the setup.
1: drums
2: bass
/ organ (track 5)
3: keyboards <-
\ piano (track 6)
/ rhythm guitar (track 7)
4: guitars <-
\ lead guitar (track 8)
So the green tracks are the four mixing tracks, and the red ones should be silent, but feeding their content to track 3 and 4.
Or ist there another way?
