■Single-take auto punch-in/out

There are two types of auto punch-in/out: “single-take” in which auto punch-in/out is per- formed only once, and “mult-take” in which punch-in/out can be performed two or more times, after which you can select the best take. Here we will explain the procedure for single- take auto punch-in/out.

1.Connect the audio source to the MD4S, and press the REC SELECT button (or the BUS button + REC SELECT button) to select the track that you wish to record.

2.Set the auto punch-in/out points.

See “Specify the auto punch-in/out points” on page 55 for more information.

3.Press the AUTO PUNCH I/O button.

The display will indicate “SINGLE TAKE.”

4.Press the ENTER button.

The AUTO PUNCH SINGLE indicator in the display will light, indicating that single-take auto punch-in/out has been selected.

The display will also indicate “A.Punch Rehe,” and the MD4S will be in auto punch-in/out rehearsal-pause mode.
