Input level setting

Each of the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B] sections provides the [TRIM] control, with which you can adjust the input gain for any selected input source. This adjustment determines the record- ing level.

Set the [TRIM] control appropriately so that the [PEAK] indicator does not light up at the loudest part.

Insert effects

The [INPUT A] section provides the insert effects which allows you to use a simulation effect when recording the INPUT A signal. Depending on the [INPUT A SELECT] switch setting, a microphone or amplifier simulation effect can be used.

About simulation effect

The microphone and amplifier simulation effects on the MR-8 simulate some of popular microphones and guitar amplifiers. Each simulation effect can produce the similar sonic performance that it would have with the ac- tual modeled microphone or guitar amplifier. For example, selecting "TUBE" mic simulation effect allows you to record a vocal sound from your microphone as if you are using a tube microphone.

Distortion setting

You can apply distortion when recording an elec- tric guitar.

To record a guitar with distortion, set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "GUITAR" and connect a guitar to the [UNBAL/GUITAR] phone connector of [INPUT A].

The distortion level can be adjusted using the [DISTORTION] control.
