Fostex FD-8 Owner's Manual page 43

This section explains how to perform Manual Punch In/Out using a foot switch (optional Model 8051).
You do not need to specify the Punch In/Out points. Instead, you press the foot switch at the Punch In/Out point.
Manual Punch In/Out also offers rehearsal and actual takes. You can repeat rehearsal until you are ready.
As an example, replace a part of the recorded guitar solo on track 3.
Connecting the instrument and a foot
switch
1. Connect the guitar to input jack 1.
2. Connect an optional foot switch (Model 8051) to the
PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the rear panel.
Rehearsing Manual Punch In/Out recording
In Rehearsal mode, the READY track enters input monitoring mode between the Punch In and Out points (the
points at which you press the foot switch), and the sound is not recorded. You can practice the Punch In/Out
operation repeatedly before you proceed to actual recording.
1. Press the foot switch while holding down the STOP
button.
The FD-8 displays [Rehsl On] for a second and enters
Rehearsal mode. [RHSL] flashes in the A.PUNCH display
