The D888’s recording level is set “pre-fader”; meaning the record levels are adjusted only by the
TRIM knobs
. The channel faders only adjust the audio level to the master and monitor outputs.
After recording, the screen will indicate “Working...” while the Undo data is being created. This
process will require a correspondingly longer time for completion as the length of the song is longer.
