Where Direct Recording Gets Recorded
When you record vocals or instruments with Direct Recording,
the MV-8000 stashes your audio in its sample RAM, and holds
it there until you save your current project. When you save the
project, everything in sample RAM is saved onto the MV-8000’s
hard drive in the project’s SAMPLE folder.
Since your recordings aren’t permanently saved until you save their project,
it’s critically important that you save the project before turning off the
MV-8000 or loading another project. If you don’t save the project first, your
recordings will be lost.
Obviously, the larger your sample RAM, the more recordings
you can fit in there. The MV-8000 ships with a generous 128
MB of sample RAM, which amounts to over 25 minutes of
mono Direct Recording, or just shy of 13 minutes of stereo
Direct Recording. You can expand your sample RAM up to 512
MB, as described in the MV-8000 Owner’s Manual.
Direct Recording shares sample RAM with anything you’ve sampled, as
well as with the samples played by any instruments you’ve loaded. As a
result, when you’ve got samples loaded, there’ll be less Direct Recording
time available.
The Direct Recording Session
The Direct Recording Hookup
Connect your mic(s) or instrument to the MV-8000 using its
rear-panel ANALOG INPUT jacks.
When you’re Direct
Recording, keep the
included shorting
pin inserted in the
PHONO jacks.
If you’re using:
• a single mic, an electric guitar, bass, or other single-output
instrument—connect it to the MIC/LINE L jack.
• a keyboard or other stereo instrument—connect its left and
right outputs to the MIC/LINE L and R jacks, respectively.
If you’ve installed an optional MV8-OP1 Audio I/O Expansion board in your
MV-8000, you can connect a digital device—such as a synth with digital
outputs—to one of the MV8-OP1’s digital inputs.
Turning On Your Inputs
After making your connection, you’ve got to tell the MV-8000
which jacks you want to use.
1. Press the SYSTEM button.
2. Select Global from the SYSTEM menu to
display the GLOBAL window.
Whenever you want to select a numbered menu item—such as the
Global menu item—you can also select it by pressing its number on the
MV-8000’s numeric keypad and hitting ENTER.
If you’ve installed an
optional MV8-OP1
expansion board,
