2.Recording (digital recording)

Here’s how to record digitally from an instrument which has a digital output or from an external dig- ital device such as a CD or DAT player. Since the digital input of the D8 provides a sampling rate converter, 48 kHz and 32 kHz sources will be con- verted to 44.1 kHz as they are recorded.

As an example, we will record in stereo to tracks 3 and 4. When recording two tracks simultaneously, you will use an odd/even pair of adjacent tracks (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7/8).

During digital recording, the effect will be off, and it will not be possible to use effects on any other track.

■Connecting the input device and adjusting the level

1Turn down the [MASTER] fader or the D8, and connect the digital output of your keyboard, CD or DAT to the D8’s DIGITAL IN connector.

2 Press the [REC SELECT] key to

INPUT 1/2

Adjust the settings so that the input level is as high as possible without causing the “CLIP” indicator to light.

■Starting and stopping recording

■Starting and stopping recording”, and record your performance.

6Refer to “1. Recording (analog recording), ■ Listening to the recorded performance (Playback)”, and lis- ten to the playback.

3.Using EQ to modify the tone as you record

Here’s how the built-in 2-band equalizer (EQ) can be applied to the input sound to modify the tone, so that the modified tone can be recorded.

■Connecting the input device and adjusting the level

1Referring to the previous section “1. Analog recording” or “2. Digital recording”, connect the device that you wish to record, and adjust the level.

During analog recording, if the input level adjusted by [TRIM 1] and [TRIM 2] is inappropriate, the input sound may distort, or there may be unwanted noise. When the Channel Level Meter Select (refer to p.47) is set to Post, the channel level meters will indicate the volume level between the EQ and the [CHANNEL] faders. This means that if you apply EQ or set the fad- ers to a position other than unity gain (or if you set the effect [EFFECT ASSIGN] to INPUT 1/2), it will not be possible to check just the input level.

✧Press the [SYSTEM] key several times to make the display read “ChMtr”, and rotate the [VALUE] dial to select Pre. Rotate the [TRIM 1] and [TRIM 2] knobs to adjust the input level as high as possible without causing the “CLIP” indicator of the channel level meters to light. After making adjustments, rotate the [VALUE] dial to return the “ChMtr” setting to Post.

■Adjusting the EQ

2Press the [EQ] key of the channel whose tone you wish to adjust, to make the display read “LEQ✽” or “HEQ✽” (✽ is the channel number). Then rotate the [VALUE] dial to adjust the EQ.

■Starting and stopping recording

3Refer to “1. Recording (analog recording) ■ Start- ing and stopping recording” to record.

■Checking the recorded material (Playback)

4When you finish recording, refer to “1. Recording (analog recording) ■ Listening to the recorded perfor- mance (Playback)” and playback your performance.

If the Input Monitor (refer to p.47) is set to AUTO, the EQ and fader will affect only the input sound for tracks whose [TRACK STATUS] is set to REC, and will not affect the playback sound. By playing
