MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Basic recording operations)
<Note>: The fader for track 1 is used to ad-
just the monitor level. To adjust the record-
ing level, use the [TRIM] control of the [IN-
PUT A] channel.
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 a guitar sound onto track 1. We assume that
a CompactFlash
TM Card is set to the slot and Song01 is loaded.
1) Connect a guitar to the [UNBAL/GUITAR] phone
jack of the [INPUT A] channel.
2) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "GUITAR".
3) Press the [REC SELECT] key for track 1.
Preparation for recording
<Note>: To record an external microphone
or line output signal such as a keyboard
output, set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to
“MIC/LINE”. To record a built-in micro-
phone sound, set the [INPUT A SELECT]
switch to “INT MIC”. When setting the switch
to “MIC/LINE”, you can use the microphone
simulation effect (see page 60).
4) Set track fader 1 and [MASTER] fader to the
nominal position (marked by
).
Raising these faders allows you to monitor the
input sound. If these faders are not raised, you
cannot monitor the sound via headphones.

When recording a guitar sound with the [IN-
PUT A SELECT] switch set to “GUITAR”, you can
use the amplifier simulation effect (see page
60).
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".
This indicates that the [INPUT A] channel is
assigned to track 1 and you can now record
the source (guitar) connected to the [INPUT A]
channel.
