Recording on 8 tracks
simultaneously
(8-track recording mode)
This section explains how to use the 8-track recording
mode which allows up to eight tracks to be recorded
simultaneously.
About 8-track recording
In 8-track recording mode, the signals from the INPUT
jacks 1 – 8 (or from GUITAR/BASS INPUT jacks 1/2
instead of INPUT jacks 1/2) can be recorded directly onto
tracks 1 – 8. This is convenient to record the performance
of an entire band in a single session, using separate tracks
for the various parts, or for picking up a drum
performance with multiple mics.
In 8-track recording mode, inputs 1 – 8 and tracks 1 – 8
correspond to each other. When the status key of a track
is lit in red, the signal of that input can be recorded on the
track. When the status key is out or lit in green, the signal
from the respective input is sent directly to a point
immediately before the [MASTER] fader.
The insert and send/return effects are available also in 8-
track recording mode.

• In 8-track recording mode, recording on tracks 9/10 – 15/

• In 8-track recording mode, the auto punch-in/out and
bounce functions are not available.
Assigning an input signal to a track
After adjusting the level of the signals from the INPUT
jacks 1 – 8 or the GUITAR/BASS INPUT jacks 1/2, the
signals are sent to tracks 1 – 8 in the recorder section.
1.
Verify that the instruments or microphones
to be recorded are connected to the INPUT
jacks 1 – 8 or GUITAR/BASS INPUT jacks
1/2.
NOTE
You can use either GUITAR/BASS INPUT jack 1 or INPUT
jack 1, and either GUITAR/BASS INPUT jack 2 or INPUT jack
2. If both jacks are connected, the GUITAR/BASS INPUT
jacks 1/2 are given priority.
2.
Press the [8TRACK RECORDING] key in the
input section.
The key lights up and the MRS-1608 switches to 8-track
recording mode.

jacks 1 – 8.
