While playing the instrument, use the [REC
LEVEL] control to adjust the recording level.
The [REC LEVEL] control modifies the signal level going
to the recorder (after passing the insert effect). Watch the
IN1 level meter in the lower left of the display and set the
level as high as possible, but avoid settings that cause the 0
dB indicator segment to light during play peaks.
[CLIP] indicator
If the recording level setting is too high, the [CLIP] indicator
of the [REC LEVEL] control lights up.

2.2 Applying the insert effect

The signal supplied to the MRS-1608 can be modified with
the insert effect. This effect can be applied to the input, to
any track, or immediately before the [MASTER] fader. The
insert effect actually is a multi-effect unit that contains a
number of single effects (effect modules) such as
compressor, distortion, and delay, connected in series.
The following steps show how to select an algorithm and

INPUT 1 – 8 level
apply the insert effect to the guitar signal connected to the
GUITAR/BASS INPUT jack.
1.
Press the [INPUT SOURCE] key in the effect
section.
The insert position of the insert effect is indicated on the
second line of the display. The default is "IN" (INPUT). If
another setting is currently selected, turn the dial to select
"IN".
2.
Use the [ALGORITHM] keys in the effect
section to select the desired algorithm.
A combination of effect modules that can be used
simultaneously is called an "algorithm". The MRS-1608 has
9 algorithms which are controlled by the [ALGORITHM]
keys in the effect section.
The following selections are available.
● CLEAN
●
DIST
●
ACO/BASS SIM
●
BASS
These algorithms are suitable for recording guitar/bass.
●
MIC
An algorithm suitable for vocals and other microphone
recordings.
●
DUAL MIC
An algorithm with two entirely separate mono input and
mono output channels.
●
8x COMP EQ
An algorithm with 8 separate input/output channels.
Different high-pass filter, compressor, and EQ settings are
possible for each channel.
●
LINE
An algorithm suitable mainly for recording line-level output
