Re-recording only a mistake—Punch-in/out
You may occasionally make a mistake while recording, or the performance may not
turn out as you expect. In such cases, it is convenient to re-record only the portion
where the mistake occurred. The action of switching to record mode while an audio
track plays is called Punch-in. Switching from recording mode back to playback
while the track plays is called Punch-out.

Using the Record button to punch-in/out

Here’s how to use the REC [ ] to punch-in/out.
1. For the audio track that you wish to re-record, press [STATUS] to get it to blink in
red.
The selected audio track will be in recording-standby mode.
2. Set the fader of the selected audio track to the 0 dB position.
3. Listen to compare the input source volume with the volume of the audio track
that you wish to re-record, and adjust the INPUT REC LEVEL knob to adjust the
input sensitivity so that there is no difference in volume between the two.
4. After you have adjusted the input sensitivity, turn the TIME/VALUE dial to
move to a location immediately before the area you wish to re-record.
5. Press PLAY [ ] to play back the audio track.
6. At the moment you wish to begin recording, press REC [ ].
Punch-in will occur, and recording will begin.
During recording, you can press REC [ ] to alternately punch-in and punch-out.
If there are other locations that you wish to re-record, repeat this procedure.
7. When you are finished recording, press STOP [ ] to stop the playback.
A message of “Keep take? (NO/YES)” (Do you wish to save the take on CD-RW
disc?) appears.
If you wish to save the take, press [YES/ENTER].
If you press [NO/EXIT], saving to CD-RW discs will be cancelled.
8. Listen to the re-recorded results.
Return to a location immediately before the re-recorded area, and play back.

The data prior to punch-in/out
will remain on the CD-RW disc
without being erased. If you no
longer need this data, you can
erase it from the CD-RW disc
to make better use of the
storage space on the CD-RW
disc. ➔ “Increasing the free
space on a CD-RW disc—
Optimize Disc” (p. 126)
For details on adjusting the
input sensitivity of an input
source, refer to “Adjusting the
input sensitivity” (p. 113).
You can use the Undo function
(p. 138) to revert to the
condition before re-recording.
