MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Basic recording operations)
<Note>: Track faders 3 and 4 are used to
adjust the monitor levels. To adjust the re-
cording level, use the [TRIM] controls for
[INPUT A] and [INPUT B].
You can simultaneously record up to two tracks. See page 37 for the available combinations of
two recording tracks. The following describes the procedure for recording different sound sources
simultaneously to tracks 3 and 4. You can make two-track simultaneous recording with any
available track combination in the same manner.
1) Connect the following sound sources to the
[UNBAL/GUITAR] phone jack of the [INPUT A]
channel and [BAL] XLR connector of the
[INPUT B] channels.
[INPUT A] -> Electric guitar
[INPUT B] -> Microphone (vocal)
Preparation for recording
<Note>: You can apply the amp simulation
as insert effects when the [INPUT A SELECT]
switch is set to "GUITAR" (see page 60).
<Note>: If you connect a condenser micro-
phone to the [BAL] XLR connector of the [IN-
PUT B] channel, you can supply the phan-
tom power to the microphone (see page
137).
2) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "GUITAR".
You can add distortion of the internal effects
to your guitar sound.
On the home screen, track numbers "3" and
"4" changes to "A" and "B" respectively, show-
ing that each input is assigned to the appro-
priate track.
The remaining time of the CompactFlash
TM
Card is shown.
4) Set the track faders 3, 4 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.
