New here , ive been messing around with Op1 for a while and feel like i got a fair understanding of most functionalities but yet confused about tape/track recording & ‘master EQ’ (key3 on tape mode)
Can i or not record a track with specific eq values set to the master or will eq only be applied if im recording to album? Hope im making sense?
u wanna use hte ear function to record thru the master fx, eq, drive settings
and back on a new tape track.
ear is life

yeah, using ear for bouncing tracks in tape from one track to another with master EQ and effects is really useful.
but be careful with the overdrive settings. i found that if I recorded/bounced a track with overdrive on it, then any overdrive on the master later on when recording to album would over compress things and leave my drums sounding like a they were played on a cardboard box.
just to confirm — no master effects/eq/overdrive are recorded when recording to tape from the drum sampler, the synth sampler or from the external in. that’s right?
I can’t remember the key strokes for this…but you can get a visual representation of the signal path on your screen.
yes thats correct. master stuff is only recorded via EAR or ALBUM
i love that screen i think its shift+mixer
Thanks all for responding
Quick question- would recording tracks using EAR not add hissing artefacts to the sound?
i’ve never had any issues like that and i use ear alot
prolly depends a bit on what u are setting your EQ, FX , drive // compression settings to
Ok thanks- gonna try the advised workflow today.
Edit: yeah understand that end result is subject to how fxs are used… just want to apply eq on ‘raw’ material for now
