Fostex FD-8 - Re-Recording.14

F05CQ(
You just finished recording your first session on track 1. Did you like it?
To continue recording on track 1 from other input jacks, or on another track, read the following “Hints.”
<Hints>
* Recording your performance on a track other than track 1
Use the channel PAN knob and the RECORD TRACK select key. If the PAN knob is set to “L,” tracks 1, 3,
5, and 7 are available for recording. If the PAN knob is set to “R,” tracks 2, 4, 6, and 8 are available for
recording. Then, use the RECORD TRACK select key to select the track you wish to record. You can
record data on eight tracks simultaneously on any disk other than an MO disk. For example, if you set
all RECORD TRACK select keys to “READY” and set the channel PAN knobs for all connected sound
sources to “center,” you could record all sources to tracks 1-8 simultaneously.
* Monitoring a track recording sound
To monitor a recording sound, use the MON mix section of the channel that corresponds to the record¬
ing track number. That is, if you are recording data to track 1, use the channel 1 MON mix section.
If you are recording data to track 5, use the channel 5 MON mix section.
If a musical instrument connected to INPUT jack 1 (channel 1) is recorded to track 8, you will need to
use the channel 8 MON mix section to adjust the monitoring level.
Rerecording
One of the great functions of the FD-8 is that if you make a mistake during recording, you can restore the
data before you made the mistake. And, you can also restore the data that was obtained after you made a
mistake. These functions are called the “undo function” and the “redo function.” The UNDO/REDO key on
the control panel controls these functions.
The undo function enables you to cancel the latest recording or edit and restore the previous status. Using
the redo function after you use the undo function enables you to cancel the undo operation and restore the
latest recording or edit. The limits of these functions are described in the <Note> below.
<Note>
You can continue using the Undo/Redo functions over and over until the following:
* When a new recording made.
* After a new edit is executed. (Copy/Paste, Move/Paste, Auto Punch in/out, Erase, etc.)
* If the power is switched off.
* When the program is changed.
* When the disk is ejected.
