Ok so I'm old fashioned. Really old fashioned. But I like it that way. I once had a cassette multi track: adding effects whilst recording was a cinch. Then I bought this truly wonderful MD8. But when it comes to this 'effects' part, can I understand the manual? Consequently, effect(s) has to be added at mixdown, which as you can imagine, kind of limits the end sound. I mean, only one effect can be applied.... Mind you, I subsequently achieve a good dry sound, no fear of echo-swamp here. But I would like someone to translate the part of this manual, the 'Adding Effects While recording' into a more user-friendly langauge. Can anyone help me?
