Fostex
Recording a performance on a track
In tJiis example, we will record the sound of an electric guitar connected to input 1. This procedure assumes
that program 1 has been created automatically after the disk format operation, and that the ABS time base
value is OOM OOS OOF (top of the program). First, initialize the FD-8.
Connecting a musical instrument and setting the controls
1. Connect the electric guitar to input jack 1.
2. Set the INPUT SEL switch for channel 1 to “INPUT.”
The guitar signal will be routed to the channel 1 input fader.
3. Turn the channel 1 PAN knob to “L” (all the way to left).
The guitar signal will be routed to stereo bus L.
4. Press the RECORD TRACK select key 1/L.
The 1/L key indicator flashes, indicating that trackl is ready for recording.
Adjusting the recording level
5. Set the SELECTOR in the monitor section to “MON.”
This enables you to monitor the recorder output signal during recording.
6. Raise the master faders L/R to “7-8” marks.
7. Press the RECORD button.
The RECORD button LED flashes, and track 1 enters input monitoring mode.
This means that the guitar signal routed to track 1 is output from the recorder section.
