RECord
• Arms record on up to 24 tracks of any properly
connected multitrack(s). The machines must
respond to MIDI Machine Control (MMC) and they
must have proper MIDI device ID settings.
• Blinking lights indicate tracks are in record-ready
mode—as in, they aren’t recording yet.
• Solid red lights indicate that the multitrack is
running and active—as in, you better hope you’re
not erasing something you didn’t want to lose.
• Click, hold, and drag to select or unselect multiple
record buttons.
Note: If the RECord process isn’t working as expected,
verify that Record Safe is not checked in the Options/
Transport menu. With Record Safe selected (checked),
neither the D8B or any connected devices will enter
record mode.
