To Use Markers

Chapter 3

You can repeatedly play back a specified area (the loop) and use Auto Punch-In Recording in that area. This is called Loop Recording. This is convenient for when you want to check the results immediately after recording, or if you want to record a number of takes of a guitar solo and compare the different takes.

Loop start		Punch-in		Punch-out		Loop end

Time

Before you begin recording, specify the begin and end times for the loop. There are three ways to specify the loop times. Use the method appropriate for your situa- tion.

*To specify the area re-recording (the punch-in point and punch-out point), refer to the previous section “Auto Punch-In.”

*Make settings so that the loop completely includes the area to be rerecorded (i.e., from the punch-in point to the punch-out point). If the area to be rerecorded is not com- pletely within the loop, recording may not start at the specified location, or may be interrupted in the middle of the area for recording.

Adjacent mark points can be used to set the beginning and end of the loop.

1.First, set mark points where you want to punch in and punch out.

2.Move to the mark point at the beginning of the loop.

3.While holding down [LOOP], press [NEXT].

4.Without releasing [LOOP], press [PREVIOUS].
