Rehearsing Auto Punch In/Out recording

In Rehearsal mode, the READY track assumes input monitoring mode between the Auto Punch In and Out points, and the sound is not recorded. You can practice Auto Punch In/Out operation repeatedly before you proceed to actual recording. Locate the recording start position slightly before the Auto Punch In point.

<Tips for rehearsal>

Set the preroll value while referring to the “Changing the Initial Settings (SETUP Mode)” chapter. In this way, the recorder can locate a point that precedes the Auto Punch In point by the specified preroll value. This enables you to start playback slightly before the Punch In point. (Refer to page “105” for more information on “Changing the Initial Settings.”) The recorder will repeat playback data between the AUTO RTN START point and the AUTO RTN END point if you set the AUTO RTN START point before the Auto Punch In point and the AUTO RTN END point after the Auto Punch Out point. This allows you to repeat rehearsal. See the “Hint-2.”.

1. Press the [AUTO PUNCH] key.

The AUTO PUNCH mode will turn ON. The REHEARSAL LED (green) and TAKE LED (red) of the [AUTO PUNCH] key will flash.

Quick and easy operation for repeated rehearsal

Using the Auto Return function and the Auto Play function enables you to rehearse repeatedly.

As shown below, set the AUTO RTN START and END points for Auto Return and Auto Play. In this way, you can repeat rehearsal easily, while checking the recording level and concentrating on your performance.

Refer to page “50” for more information on setting the AUTO RTN START/END points.

Playback starts from the Auto Return Start point, and you can rehearsal Auto Punch In/ Out.

When the Auto Return End point is reached, the recorder locates the Auto Return Start point.

<Note>

If the recorder displays [Over!] when you turn on the Auto Punch mode, the disk does not have enough free space to perform Auto Punch In/Out. In such a case, erase any unnecessary sections, delete unnecessary program data or optimize the disk and execute again.
