Manual Punch-In/Punch-Out

Sometimes when listening to a recording, you may find playing mistakes or lyrics that were sung incorrectly. You may want to correct these sections without re-recording the entire track, or without starting the song over. In such instances, use the following procedure to re-record selected parts. The switching from playback to recording while a song is playing is called a “punch-in,” and the switching from recording back to playback is called a “punch-out.”

Manual Punch-In Using the Foot Switch

Performing a manual punch-in punch-out when both playing an instrument and engineering your recording is difficult. In such cases, it is convenient to use a foot switch (such as the DP-2 or BOSS FS-5U) to do your punch-ins and -outs.
