This two position swrtch ¡s located on the
top panel above the STEREO MASTER Fader,
MONO, and ACCESS SEND/RCV. It oniy
affects the Stereo Meters; it switches them to
either AUX/EFF or L/R (Stereo Buss).
® STEREO L/AUX and STEREO R/EFF
Meters
These Meters register both the average pro-
gram leve) (with the needle) and the occurance
of peak or transient material (Peak indicator
lights).
© TRK/PGM Meters 1-8
These Meters register program leve! of the
Program Busses or the Tracks of the recorder,
on PLAY or during Remix. They have a switch-
ing logic so that they always dispiay the appro-
priate signa!. This switching aiso takes place
during Insert Editing/Punch-in.
RECORDER/REPRODUCER
© REW
Pressing this button rewinds the tape at
high speed. If the LOAD function is engaged,
the tape will not rewind off the reels. The tape
will rewind to the Load position and stop.
©PLAY
Pressing this button starts the tape rolling
forward at playback speed. Pressing this button
in conjunction with REO and any number of
REC FUNCTION switches puts the machine
into Record mode.
©REO
Because this is such an important function
(Recording), the REC button, by itseif, does
nothing. It must be used in conjunction with
the REC FUNCTION buttons. Its operation is
aiso affected by the status of the INSERT
switch. If a REC FUNCTION switch is on, and
the Studio 8 is in Play mode, pressing the REC
button will start the Recording process on the
track(s) designated by the REC FUNCTION
switches.
If no REC FUNCTION switches have been
pressed, pressing REC and PLAY simultaneous-
ly will cause the tape to roll forward and the
LED above the REC button will blink. This
means the recorder is in the Record-ready
mode, but no recording is taking place. Pressing
a REC FUNCTION switch while the recorder
is in Record-ready mode will start recording
on the track designated. See the Punch-in
procedure for more on this.
