Korg D8 manual Adjusting the playback level and recording level

■Adjusting the playback level and recording level

4Press the [PLAY] key to begin playback.

5Raise [CHANNEL] faders 1–5 to adjust the play- back level of each track. (Refer to p.27)

6Raise the [MASTER] fader to adjust the recording level to track 6.

The master level meter R will show the recording level to track 6.

✧If you are combining the tracks in stereo to tracks 7 and 8, the [MASTER] fader will adjust the record- ing level of tracks 7/8, and the master level meters L/R will show the recording level.

7Since [CHANNEL] fader 6 will adjust the input level to INPUT 1, you can record an additional input sound while you bounce the other tracks. In this case, raise [CHANNEL] fader 6 to adjust the input sound. If you are not recording an input sound, either lower the fader.

✧If you are combining the tracks in stereo to tracks 7 and 8, [CHANNEL] fader 7/8 will adjust the input level.

8For tracks 7/8 (which are not being recorded), either turn down [CHANNEL] fader 7/8 or press the [TRACK STATUS] key several times to select MUTE (indicator off).

✧If you are combining the tracks in stereo to tracks 7 and 8, track 6 will not be recorded. Either turn down [CHANNEL] fader 6 or select MUTE.

■Applying EQ and effects while you record

9Apply EQ to tracks 1–5 as desired while you record. (Refer to p.28)

10As desired, apply effects to tracks 1–5 and record them. For details on applying effects refer to “3. Applying effects to the playback sound” (p.21) or “2. Applying the internal effect during mixdown” (p.28)

When [EFFECT ASSIGN] is set to MASTER (Send Type), the signal sent to the effect will be monau- ral, so there will be cases in which a stereo effect cannot be obtained even if a stereo input type effect is selected.

■Starting and stopping recording

11Press the [REC] key, and then press the [PLAY] key to begin recording. To stop recording, press the [STOP] key. (Refer to “■ Starting and stopping recording”, p.11)

■Listening to the recorded performance (Play- back)

12Press the [TRACK STATUS] key to set tracks 1–5 to MUTE (indicator off), and set track 6 to PLAY (indicator lit green). Then raise [CHANNEL] fader 6 to adjust the playback level.

✧If you have combined tracks in stereo to tracks 7/8, set the [TRACK STATUS] of tracks 7/8 to PLAY, set all others to MUTE, and raise the [CHANNEL] fader 7/8 to adjust the playback level.

13Move the current time location to a point earlier than where you began recording, and press the [PLAY] key to begin playback. Press the [STOP] key to stop playback. (Refer to “■ Listening to the recorded performance (Playback)”, p.11)
