Make sure that all REC indicators are off (i.e., no tracks selected). 3. Press the [REC] button.

Instead of pressing the [REC] button you could have pressed the [REHE] button to engage Rehearse Pause mode. Rehearse allows you to have a dry run before actually recording. The rest of this procedure can be used with the Rehearsal function. Instead of the REC indicators, however, the REHE indicators are used. 4. Press the [PLAY] button to start playback.

At the point where you want to punch in, press a [REC SELECT] button (or [GROUP] + [REC SELECT]). Recording starts. The indicator of the [REC] button and the REC message on the display stop flashing and light up continuously. A dot appears above the corresponding track indicator. And the LAST REC IN indicator lights up, indicating that the IN point has been stored. If you're monitoring the track via CUE, you'll hear the existing sounds playback until the [REC SELECT] button is pressed, after which you'll hear the new sound that's being recorded. 6. At the point where you want to punch out, press the [PLAY] button. Recording stops. The REC indicators go off. The dot above the selected track indicator flashes. And the LAST REC OUT indicator lights up, indicating that the OUT point has been stored. Through the CUE monitor you'll hear the existing sounds playback. Instead of pressing the [PLAY] button you could have pressed the [REC SELECT] button to punch out. In this case the MD8 remains in Play Record Wait mode, so you can punch in again using the [REC SELECT] buttons. 7. Press the [STOP] button to stop playback.
