Recording Material from the AUX Input/Digital Input
You can import sound from a CD, MD, or the like to an audio track of the
sequencer program and use it as backing for what you play.
Connect your CD or MD player to the U-8's AUX Input jacks or Digital
Input connector and record the sound from the CD or MD directly to a
track.
This example explains how to make the setting to record the sound from a
CD player connected to the AUX Input jacks (AUX IN) or the Digital Input
jack (DIGITAL INPUT).
