You can proceed to record if you are satisfied with the recording level, foot switch timing, and rehearsal.
Note:
You cannot record a second take during the Manual Punch

continue playing after you finish recording a take, but you cannot
record another take by pressing the foot switch.

playing the FD-8 from a point slightly before the
desired Punch In point.

tracks 1 to 8.
3. Press the foot switch at the desired Punch In point.
Press the foot switch again at the desired Punch
Out point.

recording mode at the Punch In point, and cancels
recording mode at the Punch Out point.

<Hint>
To rehearse repeatedly, set the AUTO RTN START point slightly
before the Punch In point, and the AUTO RTN END point slightly
before the Punch Out point.
This will help you concentrate on your performance or check the
recording level easily (especially since Manual Punch In/Out involves
operating the foot switch operation as well as the FD-8). (See <Hint-

information.)
