2.Finding a precise time location
If you wish to find the exact time location at which a sound begins, or when setting locate points or storing marks, you can use the Scrub function or the Play From/Play To functions to find and select time locations more accurately.
■The Scrub function
On the D8 you can perform Scrubbing just as on an open reel tape recorder. By rotating the [VALUE] dial you can playback the song to accurately find a desired moment in time. This is called the “Scrub” function.
1Set the [TRACK STATUS] to PLAY (indicator lit green) for the track that you wish to scrub.
2 Press the [SCRUB] key to turn on the Scrub function (indicator lit).
SCRUB
3Rotate the [VALUE] dial to find the precise location while you listen to the sound. The track will play- back linked with the movement of the [VALUE] dial.
At this time, the level meter will show the pre- fader volume level of each track.
When the dial is not moving, the volume level at that time will be displayed.
■Play From/Play To/Slow Play functions
1Set [TRACK STATUS] to PLAY (indicator lit green) for the track that you wish to scrub.
2Press the [SCRUB] key to turn on the Scrub func- tion (indicator lit).
3Press the [PLAY] key, and playback will occur from the current time for two seconds, and will then stop. Then you will automatically return to the location at which playback began (Play From).
Hold down the [STOP] key and press the [PLAY] key, and the sound will playback from approxi- mately two seconds before the current time, and will then stop (Play To).
Press the [FF] key, and the sound will playback from the current time at
tion when you press the [STOP] key (Slow Play).

✧It is convenient to use the Scrub function or Slow Play to find the precise time, and then to use the Play From/Play To functions to verify that time location.
3.Locate points (LOC1, LOC2, LOC3)
You can store a specific time location, and then move instantly to that location at any time. For each song, you can store three “Locate” points, and also one hundred “Mark” points. In addition to being used to move instantly to a desired time, Locate points are also used as the in/out times for Auto Punch In/Out recording, and to specify the in/out/to times for track editing operations. (Refer to p.31)
■Storing a Locate point
Here’s how to use the Locate function to store the current time. A time that has been stored in this way is called a “Locate point”.
1Move the current time to the location that you wish to store. (Refer to “1. Moving the current time”, p.24)
2Press the [STORE] key to prepare to store the time. The display will indicate “Store”.

LOC 3] for which you wish to store the current time. The display will indicate “Store→ ✽✽✽(store destination In, Out, To)”, and the current time will be stored to the key.
Release the key, and the previous page will reap- pear.

While you are playing or recording a song, you can use the above steps 2 and following to store a locate point. The time location at the moment that you press the [IN/LOC 1], [OUT/LOC 2] or [TO/ LOC 3] key will be stored.
■Moving to a Locate point
✧When you press a [IN/LOC 1], [OUT/LOC 2] or [TO/LOC 3] key that you have previously stored, you will move to the stored time.
