4. Set:
• Rec Mode—to Direct Rec.
• Input Type—to Mono or Stereo if you need to change
it. This is the same setting you saw in the GLOBAL
window, so it’s set to the same value you selected
there.
• Count In—to the number of measures you want to
hear before recording actually begins.
• Metronome Mode—as desired. It can play during
recording only, during recording and playback, or all
the time.
If you’ll be recording along to already-sequenced tracks, you probably
won’t want to hear the metronome. To turn it off, set Metronome Mode
to Off. To learn about additional metronome options, see the MV-8000
Owner’s Manual.
We’ll discuss two of the remaining parameters in the “Auto Punch” section.
(The Input Quantize parameter is not available for direct recording.)
The Direct Recording Process
1. Press the PLAY button to begin recording. The
countoff measures go by and recording starts.
2. When you’ve finished recording, press the STOP
button.
3. To play back your recording, press the TOP button or use
the 7 and 8 buttons to move to the beginning of your
recording, and then hit PLAY.
If you don’t like what you’ve recorded, press the UNDO/REDO button to
get rid of it. When you do this, UNDO/REDO flashes to show that you can
change your mind and get back your recording by pressing UNDO/REDO
once more. You can change your mind until you make your next recording.
Once you’ve got a recording you like, press PROJECT, and then select Save
Project to store your work on the MV-8000 hard drive. This ensures that you
won’t forget to save the project later. Use Save Project often as you work.
Auto Punch
You can re-record a section of a recorded track by “punching”
the section you want to fix. When you begin re-recording, you
“punch in.” When you stop re-recording, you “punch out.”
The MV-8000 offers an Auto Punch feature that makes this
easy to do. To punch a section of a track:
1. Hold down SHIFT and press the AUTO PUNCH button.
This turns on Auto Punch and opens the AUTO PUNCH
window.
When Auto Punch is on,
its icon lights blue on
the VGA.
A red bar appears on the
VGA above the section to
be punched.
The Auto Punch window
In the AUTO PUNCH window, you can set the locations
where you want to start and stop re-recording.
2. Set:
• Punch In—to where you want to begin re-recording.
You can select the desired bar, beat, or tick.
