•If you want to set the In and Out points more precisely,
you can use the Nudge function ( → p. 71) which repeat-
edly plays a short region before or after the current
location, or use the WAVE DISPLAY popup window ( →
p. 72) 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.

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

PLAY [ ] key.
1The PLAY [ ] key will light, and playback will
begin from the pre-roll point.
BWhen you reach the auto punch-in point, the
REC [●] key will begin blinking, and the signal
that you are monitoring from the recording-
destination track channel will switch from the
track playback to the input signal (recording-
source). (However, recording will not actually
occur.)
CWhen you reach the auto punch-out point, the
REC [●] key will go dark, and the signal that
you are monitoring from the recording-desti-
nation track channel will return to the track
playback.
DWhen you reach a point that is a specific dis-
tance (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.

Tip!
•If you turn the Locate section [REPEAT] key on before
step 7, operations 1 – 4 of step 7 will be repeated up
to fifteen times. (The A-B Repeat function is disabled
during this time.) If you want to stop repeating the
rehearsal, press the [REPEAT] key once again or press
the STOP [ ■ ] key.
•With the initial settings of the AW16G, the pre-roll and
post-roll times are each set to four seconds. You can
adjust these values in a range of 0–5 seconds ( → p. 162).
