PRE-RECORD (PPR)
I. Pre-Record functionality
Pre-Record Position is at the 11 o'clock position and allows 3 important functions while
displaying the main information regarding the record session.
1. Pre-Record Buffer
While the Main Selector is on Pre-Record Position, the Cantar activates its pre-record buffer.
This buffer stores the audio in a First-In/First-Out (FIFO) buffer memory and dumps them to the
recording media as soon as Record is activated.
Once the buffer is full, up to 10 sec. @ 48kHz, it starts discarding the oldest audio buffer.
2. Metadata Edit
You can edit the previous or next Take's metadatas.
3. Previous take trash
After a Record, you can simply put that last Take to a trash.

changed and an unused inputs become used, it will be turned on automatically.
