1. Mixer inputs

The D888 has eight sets of analog input jacks. The audio from the devices connected to these input jacks 1 through 8 are assigned to mixer channels 1 through 8, and can be recorded on the corresponding tracks.
1-3. Adjusting the monitor level
1) Switch the display to the Level Meter screen, and press the EXIT/CANCEL button several times to choose the channel display (CH). 2) Set the channel fader to unity gain (0 dB). 3) When there is input from your input device, the level meter in the screen will move according to the input. 4) Adjust the channel fader so that the clip indicator does not appear in the level meter even when you play most strongly. Gradually raise the MASTER fader and PHONES level knob or monitor LEVEL knob until you can hear the sound in your headphones or from the monitor speakers connected to the MONITOR jacks.

S/P DIF OUT

This jack outputs the same audio signal as the MASTER L,R jacks as a 44.1 kHz 16-bit digital signal.

PHONES 1, 2

These jacks output the same audio signal as the MONITOR L,R jacks. Use the corresponding PHONES level knob to adjust the level.
2-2. When INDIVIDUAL is selected
Each jack will carry the audio output of a single mixer channel of the same number - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

3-3. EQ (Equalizer)

HIGH, MID, and LOW equalizer gain knobs are provided on each channel to adjust the high, mid, and low-range gain. You can boost or cut the gain of each band by +/15 dB. The center frequencies are fixed at 10 kHz, 2.5 kHz, and 100 Hz. The EQ applies to the playback, and to the master and channel output, but is not applied when recording individual tracks (Refer to p.19 6: Structure).

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

These jacks output the audio of channel tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 from a point immediately before the channel faders. You can use these as pre-outputs for the devices connected to the D888. The output of channel tracks 1 and 2 can be adjusted by the monitor LEVEL knob.
If you want the output level of channel tracks 1 and 2 to match the output of channel tracks 3 through 8, turn the monitor LEVEL knob to 10 (all the way toward the right).
Applying EQ to the playback
1) Press the REC/PLAY button, and press the channel button of the channel whose EQ you want to adjust (the button will light green). 2) Press the PLAY button to play back the song. 3) Use the HIGH, MID, and LOW knobs to adjust the high, mid, and low-range gain. 4) Press the LEVEL METER button, and use the level meters to check the channel levels. If you boost or cut the EQ values by a large amount, you may need to re-adjust the level balance between channels or the overall level (Refer to 3-1. Adjusting the volume).
This jack outputs the same audio signal as channel tracks 3 and 4 in the form of a 44.1 kHz 16-bit digital signal.
These jacks output the same audio signal as channel tracks 1 and 2. Use the corresponding PHONES level knob to adjust the level.

3. Adjusting the mixer

Use the mixer section to monitor the inputs, and to create a listening mix by adjusting the volume, tone, and pan of the playback.
For details on adjusting effects, refer to p.33 Effects.

3-4. Muting a channel

You can turn the CH ON button on, and then use the channel buttons to mute (silence) individual channels. 1) Turn the CH ON button on. Channel buttons of enabled channels will light orange.

By repeatedly bounce-recording and overdubbing on up to eight tracks in this way, you will finish recording your channel tracks. Then you will create the final mixdown by recording it on the master track in stereo.
If the bounce-destination already contains recorded data, it will be overwritten and replaced by the newly recorded data; i.e., you will lose the previously recorded data.
2-4. Recording the master track
When youre finished recording, you can apply EQ and an effect to the playback to adjust the final overall balance, and then create a master track. Each master track you create is preserved as a stereo WAV file. The files will automatically be named MST0001.WAV, MST0002.WAV, MST0003.WAV, and so on, in order of their creation.
The WAV file that was most recently recorded in this way will always be selected for the master track, so if you want to hear the WAV file of a master track you recorded earlier, youll need to use the operation described on p.39 Selecting a master track file. A master track WAV file you create in this way can be selected for a channel track and played back (p.39).
3) Adjust the EQ and pan of each playback track. Press the PLAY button to play back. Use the track 18 EQ GAIN knobs to adjust the tone, and the PAN knobs to adjust the stereo position. 4) Adjust the playback and recording levels. Use the channel faders to adjust the playback levels. You can press the LEVEL METER button and watch the channel level (CH) corresponding to each fader. 5) Use the MASTER fader to adjust the recording level. When youve nished making adjustments, press the STOP button. 6) Move the current location to the point at which you want to start recording. You can move to the beginning of the song by holding down the STOP button and pressing the REW button. 7) Put the recorder in record-ready mode. Press the REC button (it will blink). 8) Begin recording. Press the PLAY button. (The REC and PLAY buttons will light.) Playback will begin. 9) Stop recording. When playback ends, press the STOP button. (The REC and PLAY buttons will go dark.) Return to the location at which you began recording, and play back to verify that recording occurred correctly.
1) Make sure that youve selected the desired virtual track for each playback track 18 you want to record to the master track. 2) Select the desired playback tracks. Press the CH ON button, and press the channel button for each track you dont want to play, making the channel button go dark. 3) Press the MASTER button several times to make it light red. The channel buttons of the playback tracks will be green. 4) Perform steps 4) and following of 2-3. Bounce recording. You can also use the effect while you record the master track (p.33).

When you are satised with the performance you rerecorded, press the STOP button outside the recorded region (IN-OUT) to stop repeating.
You can use the Undo/Redo function to compare and choose between the most recent recording and the recording that precedes it.
2) Use the cursor left/right buttons to select the desired position, and use the cursor up/down buttons to select a numeric value. You can also use the channel buttons to enter numeric values directly, instead of using the cursor up/down buttons. By pressing the STORE button at this time, you can specify the current location as the point. 3) When youre nished entering the point, press the ENTER/OK button to conrm your entry.
5) Listen to the recorded performance. Press the PLAY button to play back, and listen to the recorded performance. If Repeat is on, playback will occur from the IN (punch-in) location to the OUT (punch-out) location.
