Kolpak DA-98 manual Rehearsing the punch-in, Interrupting a rehearsal or punch recording

Section 6 – Basic operations

4)Post-roll is set in the same way. Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys until the cursor is by the Post field, and repeat the steps above.

The minimum value for post-roll is 3 seconds.

6.6.5 Rehearsing the punch-in

After you have set the punch points, and you have located the tape to the pre-roll point, as described above, you can rehearse the punch process.

1)Press the RHSL key [9] so that the indicator lights steadily.

This indicates that you are now in rehearsal mode.

2)Press PLAY. The tape will start playing from the pre-roll point.

3)At the punch-in point, monitoring will change to source.

The RECORD key will flash, and the REC FUNC- TION indicator of any armed tracks will light steadily. However, recording will not be carried out.

1)While the tape is running, press the LOC 1 key [22].

There is no need to press STOP first.

The tape will return to the punch-in point, minus the value specified in the punch-in offset (6.6.4, “Editing the pre-roll and post-roll times”).

NOTE

The pre-roll location time (see 8.1.3, “Setting the loca- tion pre-roll time”) is not used here.

2)Pressing PLAY will then re-start the rehearsal or punch-in process.

NOTES

•Pressing the LOC 2 key will locate the tape to the punch-out position minus the punch-in pre-roll time.

•These functions are only operative when the RHSL or AUTO PUNCH indicators are lit or flashing. When they are off, the LOC 1 and LOC 2 keys will act nor- mally.

•If the SHIFT key has been pressed, and the SHIFT indicator is flashing, the LOC 1 and LOC 2 keys will act as function keys (see 5.2.1, “The SHIFT key and function keys”).

4)At the punch-out point, monitoring will change back to off-tape monitoring.

The tape will continue playing to the post-roll point and then rewind to the pre-roll point.

NOTE

If the AUTO PLAY mode is active (press the AUTO PLAY key [12] so that the indicator lights), playback will start again as soon as the pre-roll point is reached.

5)Repeat the rehearsal process until you are satisfied with the performance.

6.6.6Interrupting a rehearsal or punch recording

Very often while rehearsing a punch-in, you will not want to run the tape all the way to the punch- out point (an entry cue is missed, or a mistake is made early on in the take). In these cases, the fol- lowing procedure applies to both rehearsal and punch recording:

6.6.7 Recording the punch-in

1)Make sure the tape is at the pre-roll point, and press the AUTO PUNCH key [10] once.

The indicator will flash, showing that the DA-98 is in auto-punch mode.

2) Press PLAY. The tape will start playing.

At the punch-in point, the RECORD indicator will light steadily, as will the REC FUNCTION indica- tors of any armed tracks. Monitoring will change from off-tape to source and the INPUT MONITOR of any armed tracks will light.

Recording will now actually take place. Any recorded material which was previously on the armed tracks between the punch points will be replaced by the new recording.
