Recording to a Metronome Sound

Recording to a Metronome Sound

This chapter explains how to record your performance while you are playing an instrument accompanied by a metronome based on the time signature and tempo specified in the Tempo Map. The metronome sound is output from track 8.

For example, record the acoustic guitar using a microphone to track 2 while using a compressor/limiter.

•Initialize the FD-8 before the operation.

•If multiple Programs exist, first select the desired Program.

Connecting a sound source and a effect unit

1. Connect a microphone to input jack 7.

If the microphone has a balanced (XLR) connector, use INPUT 7 (XLR) jack on the rear panel.

2. Connect a compressor/limiter to INSERT jack 7 on the rear panel.

The compressor/limiter will be applied to channel 3 signal.
