Punch-in/out

AW2400 Owner’s Manual
Overdubbing

If you make a mistake while overdubbing, you can re-record just the region in which you made
the mistake. This process is called “punch-in/out.”
Punch-in/out can be performed either as “manual punch-in/out” in which you switch between
recording and playback manually, or as “auto punch-in/out” in which recording and playback will
switch automatically when you reach the locations you specify beforehand.
Here’s how to perform punch-in/out using the keys of the
transport section or a foot switch.
1If you want to perform punch-in/out using a
foot switch, connect a separately sold foot
switch (Yamaha FC5 or equivalent) to the
rear panel FOOT SW jack.
2Call the RECORD screen Direct page, and
make sure that your instrument/mic is
assigned to the track on which you want to
punch-in.
3Locate to a point earlier than where you
want to punch-in.
For details on Locate operation, refer to “Move To a
Specified Location” on page 87.
You may find it convenient to register a marker at a
location one or two measures earlier than the point at
which you want to punch-in, so you can quickly return
to that point. (For details on registering a marker →
p. 90)
4Press the Transport section PLAY [ ] key.
(Alternatively, press the foot switch.)
The song will begin playing. At this time, the track
playback sound of the recording-destination track
channel will be sent to the stereo bus, so you will not
be able to monitor the input signal.
5At the point where you want to begin
recording, hold down the PLAY [ ] key
and press the REC [●] key (or press the
foot switch once again), and begin playing
your instrument.
The recording-destination track will switch from play-
back to recording (“punch-in”).
6At the point where you want to stop record-
ing, press the PLAY [ ] key (or press the
foot switch).
The recording-destination track will switch from
recording back to playback (“punch-out”).
7To stop playback, press the STOP [■] key
(or press the foot switch).
The [UNDO/REDO] key in the data entry / control
section will light.
8To listen to the newly-recorded content,
locate to a point just before the punch-in
point, and press the PLAY [ ] key.
9If you are satisfied with the newly-recorded
content, save the song. (For details on sav-
ing → p. 57)
If you decide to re-do the recording, press the [UNDO/
REDO] key to cancel the recording, and repeat steps
3–7.
The following diagram shows the manual punch-in/out
procedure.
