Chapter7—Punch-in/out

Auto punch-in/out

Here’s how to use auto punch-in/out.

Preparations

Make input monitor settings

To perform punch-in/out recording, you will need to select “auto input monitor” as the input monitor setting. For details refer to page 128.

Set the auto punch-in/out points

Specify the location at which punch-in/out will start (Auto Punch In point) and end (Auto Punch Out Point). Auto punch-in/out uses the in/out point settings (→ P.120).

1.At the location where you wish to punch-in, hold down the [SET] key and press the [IN] key.

The [IN] key will light, indicating that the In point has been set.

2.At the location where you wish to punch-out, hold down the [SET] key and press the [OUT] key.

The [OUT] key will light, indicating that the Out point has been set.

Be aware that auto punch-in/out will not occur if the Out point is earlier than the

In point.

Tip!

The auto punch-in/out points (in/out points) can be precisely adjusted in millisec- onds or in sub-frame units. For details refer to page 123.

Set the pre-roll/post-roll times

When executing auto punch-in/out, you can specify intervals of playback before the punch-in and after the punch-out. The playback before punch-in is called the “pre-roll time,” and the playback after punch-out is called the “post-roll time.” With the factory settings, these are set to five seconds, but you can change this as desired. The beginning of the pre-roll is called the “pre-roll point,” and the end of the post-roll is called the “post-roll point.”
