Wizards
U-8 has two wizards that simplify recording and mixdown (see following
two sections). You launch the wizards by pressing one of several EZ
Recording buttons.
U-8Õs Start button opens the Cakewalk Quick Start window. After the
window opens, you can open a new or preexisting project by using U-8Õs
up or down Cursor button to select an option, and then pressing U-8Õs
Enter button when your option is highlighted. The right and left Cursor
buttons scroll through choices in the New Project window or the Open a
Recent Project Þeld.

The EZ Recording Wizard

The EZ Recording Wizard handles choosing inputs, arming a track,
setting record levels, and adding an insert effect.
Note: The EZ Recording Wizard only allows single-track recording
(mono or stereo). To record two tracks at the same time, you can plug two
mono instruments into the U-8 inputs and use the mouse to arm two
tracks in Cakewalk. In CakewalkÕs Source column
WAVE IN for one track and Right 1:U8 WAVE IN for the other one.
To Record with the EZ Recording Wizard...
1. Set the Track Status buttons to Audio 1-8. That way, all the U-8
Track Status buttons function to show if a track is armed or
