RECORD
• Arms the record function on up to 24 tracks of any
properly connected multitrack(s). The machines
must respond to MIDI Machine Control (MMC) and
they must have proper MIDI device ID settings.
• Blinking lights indicate tracks are in record-ready
mode—as in, they aren’t recording yet.
• Solid red lights indicate that the multitrack is
running and active—as in, you better hope you’re
not erasing something you didn’t want to lose.
• Click, hold, and drag to select or unselect multiple
record buttons.
Note: If the record process isn’t working as expected,
verify that Record Safe is not checked in the Options/
Transport menu. With Record Safe selected (checked),
neither the D8B nor any connected devices will enter
record mode.
