■Multi-take auto punch-in/out

Multi-take auto punch-in/out allows you to perform auto punch-in/out recording two or more times, then to audition all takes (including the original) and select the best take. Multi- take auto punch-in/out allows you to record up to 99 takes, as long as blank area remains.

1.Connect an audio source to the MD4S, and press a REC SELECT button (or the BUS button + REC SELECT button) to select the track that you wish to record.

2.Set the auto punch-in/out points.

See “Specify the auto punch-in/out points” on page 55 for more information.

3.Press the AUTO PUNCH I/O button.

The display will indicate “SINGLE TAKE.”

4.Rotate the DATA dial to make the display read “MULTI TAKE.”

5.Press the ENTER button.

The display will indicate “TAKE 1 Load” for a short time. Then the AUTO PUNCH MULTI indicator will light, indicating that multi-take auto punch-in/out has been selected. The dis- play will indicate “TAKE 1 Rehe,” and the MD4S will be in auto punch-in/out rehearsal-pause mode.

Rehearsing the auto punch-in/out (multi-take)

6.Press the PLAY button to begin rehearsing the auto punch-in/out.

In the same way as in single-take auto punch-in/out, the monitor signal of the track selected for recording will switch from the track playback to the recording source between the auto punch-in/out points. Recording will not actually occur.

Tip: While rehearsing the auto punch-in/out, you can press the REPEAT button to automatically repeat the rehearsal.
