Recording fade ins and fade outs

Sometimes, for example if you're recording just an excerpt from something, it may be better to fade in the recording, then fade out again at the end, rather than start and end abruptly. You can also set longer or shorter fade times so that they match the fades on other songs in your mix. Note that you can’t record a fade in when in synchro recording mode (although you can record a fade out).

Setting the fade length

1Press MENU/DELETE.

2Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) until FADER TIME ap- pears in the display, then press to

ENTER.

3Use the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) to set the length of the fade

(in seconds).

Each turn will take you forward (or back) one second. The default is 5 seconds.

4Press the jog dial (ENTER) to confirm the new fade length.

Recording a fade in

¥With the source playing, press FADER during record-pause mode to fade in. Recording starts with a gradual fade in.

Recording a fade out

¥Press FADER during recording to fade

out.

After recording the fade out, the recorder goes into record- pause mode. This happens in either normal or synchro record mode.

• You can also just press 7if you don’t need a fade out.

If you record a fade out during all-track sync mode, the synchro mode is canceled after the fade out (see pages 39– 42 for more on synchro recording).

Automatically numbering tracks

You can record from any source, letting the recorder number the tracks automatically. From a digital source (CD, MD, DAT, or DCC), the recorder will start new tracks as they change on the source material. When recording other sources, the recorder will start a new track if it detects more than 2 seconds of silence before the next sound on the source. You can adjust the level that the recorder regards as “silence” (see Setting the silence threshold below).

1Press MENU/DELETE.

2Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) until AUTO TRACK appears

in the display, then press to ENTER.

The display shows either ON or OFF. ON is the default.

3Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote)to switch AUTO TRACK ON or OFF.

4Press the jog dial to ENTER.

To check that tracks will start at the correct points on the

recording, see Monitoring a source for recording on page
