Fostex LR16 manual Punch in/out using the transport control keys

Model LR16 [Recorder functions / Recording/playback]

Punch in/out

The punch in/out function allows replacing the desired part of the desired track already recorded, instead of re-recording the entire track. While a project is playing, the recorder switches from play- back to recording at the "punch in" point, and switches from recording to playback at the "punch out" point. You can punch in and out using the transport control keys on the recorder section or using a footswitch.

<Notes>

*Punch in/out can be performed in insert mode. You cannot perform punch in/out in new project mode.

*Repeating punch in/out decreases the recordable remaining space of the hard disk. It is recommended to delete an unnecessary project using the "Delete" item in the "Project" menu of the MENU mode (see page 72).

*After performing punch out, it takes a few seconds until the LR16 outputs the playback signal (non-seamless punch in/out).

<Memo>: The data before performing punch in/ out is stored to the "LOG" folder in the project as an ADL file. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can you can roll back the previous project data before punch in/out (see page 67 for details).

<Note>: If you perform the above operation while playing your instrument, you may not be able to concentrate on playing. In such a case, ask someone to operate the recorder or use a footswitch described in the next page.
