Repeatedly press the status key for the
track on which to perform punch-in/out,
until the key is lit in red.

If the current location is outside the region between the In

Recording several tracks
on a master track (mixdown
function)
This section explains how to play recorded audio tracks
as well as drum/bass track sounds and record them as a
stereo mix on a master track (mixdown).
The master track is a set of stereo tracks that is separate
from the normal audio tracks. The most common use of
the master track is as a track on which the end result of a
mixdown process is recorded.
The MRS-8 offers one master track for each project.
Similar to the regular audio tracks, the master track also
has ten virtual tracks (V-takes). This allows you to record
different mixes on several V-takes and select the optimum
take later.
When you switch the master track to the recording
condition, the signal after passing the [MASTER] fader
(the same signal as available from the MASTER
OUTPUT jacks) is recorded on the master track.
HINT
It is possible to play the master tracks of several projects in
succession (
