Model D2424 Reference Manual (Punch In/Out)

Manual Punch In/Out

This section explains how to perform Manual Punch In/Out using a foot switch (optional Model 8051). You do not need to specify the Punch In/Out points. Instead, you press the foot switch at the Punch In/Out point. Manual Punch In/Out also offers rehearsal and actual takes. You can repeat rehearsal until you are ready. As an example, replace a part of the recorded guitar solo on track 3.

Preparation

Check to see that the guitar is connected to the input jack of the mixer, as required for [AUTO PUNCH IN/ OUT] mentioned earlier.

4. Play the guitar accompanying the playback of tracks 1 to 8.

The recording level and monitor volume is adjusted on the mixer in the same manner as done for [AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT] described earlier.

1.Connect an optional foot switch (Model 8051) to the PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the rear panel.

Rehearsing Manual Punch In/Out

In Rehearsal mode, the READY track enters input monitoring mode between the Punch In and Out points (the points at which you press the foot switch), and the sound is not recorded. You can practice the Punch In/Out operation repeatedly before you proceed to actual recording.

1. Press the foot switch while holding down the [STOP] button.

“Rehearsal On” will appear on the display or about 1 second, then rehearsal mode will appear and the REHEARSAL LED (green) of the [AUTO PUNCH] key flashes.

2.Press the [RECORD TRACK] select key [3/11/19] to set track 3 to READY.

3.Press the [PLAY] button to play back from a point slightly before the Punch In point.

5.Press the foot switch once at the desired Punch In point, then press the foot switch again at the

desired Punch Out point.

The rehearsal mode will operate as shown in the figure. Between the Punch In and Out points the current performance of the guitar will be played as the guitar monitor sound. The previous recording is heard in any other case. The RECORD LED lights up when Punching In and turn off when Punching Out. (the REHEARSAL LED remains flashing)

6. When you finish rehearsing, press the [STOP] button.

If you are still unsatisfied, repeat steps 3-5.

Cancelling Rehearsal mode

1. While holding down the [STOP] button, press the foot switch.

The display shows “Rehearsal Off” for 1 second, then the flashing REHEARSAL LED turns off and cancels the rehearsal mode.

<Hint>

To rehearse repeatedly, set the AUTO RTN START point slightly before the Punch In point, and the AUTO RTN END point slightly before the Punch Out point.

This will help you concentrate on your performance or check the recording level easily (especially since Manual Punch In/Out involves operating the foot switch operation as well as the recorder). (See <Hint-2> in the “Rehearsing Auto Punch In/Out recording” for more information.)
