• Punch Out—to where you want to stop recording. You
can select the desired bar, beat or tick, here, too.
If you don’t want to be bothered with bars, beats, and ticks, just play the
section you want to punch. Click the AUTO PUNCH window’s Now In button
when you get to the place where you want to start recording, and click the
Now Out button where you want to stop recording.
3. When you’re ready, press the REC button—you’ll see your
punch points in the RECORDING PARAMETER (AUDIO)
window.
4. Use 7 and/or 8 to move to a place before the section you
want to punch.
5. Press PLAY—the MV-8000 waits to actually begin recording
until it reaches the Punch In location, and automatically
stops recording when it reaches the Punch Out location.
6. Press STOP when you’re done.
Naming the Track

to remember which one it is. To name a track:
1. Double-click on the track’s name to display the EDIT TRACK
NAME window, or press MENU and select Track Name...

2. In the EDIT TRACK NAME window, name the track as
desired and click OK.

You can edit your recording the same way you’d edit the audio

See the MV-8000 Version 2.0 Owner’s Manual for details on editing
