This chapter explains how to record your performance while you are playing an instrument accompanied by
a metronome based on the time signature and tempo specified in the Tempo Map. The metronome sound is
output from track 8.
For example, record the acoustic guitar using a microphone to track 2 while using a compressor/limiter.
• Initialize the FD-8 before the operation.
• If multiple Programs exist, first select the desired Program.
Connecting a sound source and a effect unit

If the microphone has a balanced (XLR) connector, use INPUT 7 (XLR) jack on the rear panel.
2. Connect a compressor/limiter to INSERT jack 7 on the rear panel.
The compressor/limiter will be applied to channel 3 signal.
