Punch-in/out

Punch-in/out

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.

Manual punch-in/out

Here’s how to perform punch-in/out using the keys of the transport section or a foot switch.

1 If 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.

2 Call the RECORD screen Direct page, and make sure that your instrument/mic is assigned to the track on which you want to punch-in.

3 Locate 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)

4 Press 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.

5 At 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”).

6 At 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”).

7 To stop playback, press the STOP [■] key (or press the foot switch).

The [UNDO/REDO] key in the data entry / control section will light.

HINT

•If no track has been enabled for recording, the foot switch will alternate between Play and Stop operations.

8 To listen to the newly-recorded content, locate to a point just before the punch-in point, and press the PLAY [ ] key.

9 If 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.
