Punch recording

When you have rehearsed your punch-in, you can start recording.

1.Press the RHSL key so that the indicator goes out (but the AUTO PUNCH indicator is still lit).

2.Press PLAY (¥) so that playback starts. Use the pre-roll time to get ready to record.

At the punch-in point, the unit goes into record mode (the RECORD () indicator lights).

At the punch-out point, recording stops (the RECORD () indicator goes out), and playback continues until the post- roll point and then returns to the pre-roll point. The AUTO PUNCH indicator is turned off (the track arming status stays the same).

If you want to re-record the punch, turn AUTO PUNCH back on before recording again.
