Yamaha AW2400 owner manual To rehearse the auto punch-in/out, press the Play key

The [AUTO PUNCH] key will light, and the Auto Punch-in/out function will be enabled. You will auto- matically locate to a point a specific distance (the “pre- roll time”) ahead of the In point. This point is called the “pre-roll point.”

NOTE

• If the auto punch-in/out region is too short or too long (less than approximately 100 msec or greater than one hour), an error message will appear, and you won’t be able to specify the Out point.

• You can’t change the In/Out points if the [AUTO PUNCH] key is lit. If you need to change the In/Out points, you must first defeat the Auto Punch-in/out function.

Punch-in/out

Auto punch-in/out

Auto punch-in/out is a function that performs the punch-in and punch-out operations automatically. In order to use this function, you must first specify the punch-in location (the In point) and the punch-out location (the Out point).

1 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.

2 Locate to the point at which you want to punch-in.

3 Hold down the Locate section [SET] key and press the [IN] key.

The current location will be registered as the In point.

4 Locate to the point at which you want to punch-out.

5 Hold down the Locate section [SET] key and press the [OUT] key.

The current location will be registered as the Out point.

HINT

• If you want to set the In and Out points more precisely, you can use the Nudge function (→ p. 94) which repeatedly plays a short region before or after the current location, or use the WAVE DISPLAY popup window (→ p. 69) which lets you view the contents of the track as a waveform.

• The In point and Out point will be updated each time you record. The location at which you last started recording will be registered as the In point, and the location at which you last stopped recording will be registered as the Out point.

CWhen you reach the auto punch-out point, the REC [●] key will go dark, and the signal that you are monitoring from the recording-destination track channel will return to the track playback.

DWhen you reach a point that is a specific distance (the “post-roll time”) after the Out point (this point is called the “post-roll point”), you will return to the pre-roll point and stop.
