MR-8 Owner’s Manual

Usingeffects

The MR-8 provides the insert effects for recording (microphone and amplifier simulation effects), the delay/reverb for track bounce or mixdown (for tracks 1 through 4 only) as well as the mastering effects. The following describes how to use the effects and details about each effect.

Using the insert effects for recording

As described briefly on page xx, the [INPUT A] section of the MR-8 provides two types of insert effects: microphone and amplifier simulation effects.

These preset effects simulate popular micro- phones and guitar amplifiers. If you use the mi- crophone simulation effect when you record an acoustic guitar through your microphone, you can make recording as if you are using a famous microphone. If you use the guitar amplifier simu- lation effect when you record an electric guitar directly connected to the MR-8, you can make recording as if you are using a famous guitar amplifier.

Mic simulation effects

You can use mic simulation effects when the [IN- PUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to "MIC/LINE".

	crophone for professional use.

Amp simulation effects

You can use mic simulation effects when the [IN- PUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to "GUITAR". (Note that, when the switch is set to "GUITAR", only the [UNBAL/GUITAR] connector can be used.
