MR-8HD/CD Owner’s Manual (Basic operations)
You can record onto any one of tracks 1 through 4. When making recording to a single track, you
can record a signal fed to the [
INPUT A ] channel.
The following describes the procedure for recording an acoustic guitar onto track 1 via a micro-
phone. We assume that Song02 is loaded and no sound is recorded to Song02. See "
Creating a
song for recording " on page 31 for details about how to create a song.
1) Connect a microphone to the [BAL] or
[UNBAL/GUITAR] input connector of the
[INPUT A] channel.
: You can apply the mic simulation
as insert effects when the [ INPUT A SELECT ]
switch to " MIC/LINE " (see page 58).
3) Press the [REC SELECT] key for track 1.
Track 1 is record armed and the [ REC SELECT ]
key for track 1 starts flashing.
On the home screen, the remaining time is
shown, while "1" for the track number changes
to "
A ".
Preparation for recording
2) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "MIC/LINE".
: You can supply the phantom power
to a condenser microphone connected to
the [
BAL ] XLR connector (see page 128).
Note that you cannot supply the phantom
power via the [
GUITAR/UNBAL ] phone con-
nector.

cannot monitor the sound via headphones.
