10 MD8 Applications

This chapter shows how the MD8 can be used for various applications.

One-Take Recording

One-Take recording is ideal for live recording or recording bands that like to record with all

members playing together. In this system, vocals, backing vocals, guitar, and drums are

recorded using microphones, while the bass is connected via DI (Direct Injection). Powered

monitors are connected to the AUX SENDs for vocal and synthesizer monitoring. With an

optional footswitch connected to the PUNCH I/O jack, one of the musicians can stop and

start MD8 recording. A stereo pair of headphones is used for monitoring. Using the DIR

recording method, up to eight tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
