members playing together. In this system, vocals, backing vocals, guitar, and drums are
recorded using microphones, while the bass is connected via DI (Direct Injection). Powered
monitors are connected to the AUX SENDs for vocal and synthesizer monitoring. With an
optional footswitch connected to the PUNCH I/O jack, one of the musicians can stop and
start MD8 recording. A stereo pair of headphones is used for monitoring. Using the DIR
recording method, up to eight tracks can be recorded simultaneously.
