** WARNING **
BECAUSE OF THE DESTRUCTIVE NATURE OF THIS FUNCTION, PLEASE MAKE
SURE IT IS NOT INADVERTENTLY SELECTED WHEN RECORDING AS YOU RUN THE
RISK OF LOSING VALUABLE DATA.
For example, if you are used to using non-destructive recording but receive a disk where
DESTRUCTIVE record mode is enabled, you may be working in your usual way, thinking
that new recordings are recoverable when, in fact, they are being deleted from disk every
time you record over them. A good example may be where you are repeatedly dropping in
over dialogue recordings, unaware that DESTRUCTIVE mode is set. You may think that
you can retrieve ‘out-takes’ after the talent has left only to find that only the very latest
recordings you made are available on disk. In this case, before recording over existing
cues, please check that DESTRUCTIVE record mode has not been selected.
** THERE IS NO UNDO WHEN DESTRUCTIVE RECORD IS USED **
Pressing Punch (F5) moves the cursor to the Punch Mode field. This selects how the DD8 will
respond if the record track selection is changed while the transport is in record.
Available selections are :
NORMAL This is the default setting. The record track selection can not be changed
while the transport is in record.
TRACK KEYS In this mode, the transport responds in the same manner as a conven-
tional MTR. Pressing the REC and PLAY keys will put the DD8 into a
‘record-ready’ condition waiting for tracks to be punched in from the track
select keys. If no tracks are selected at the time the REC and PLAY keys
are pressed, the REC key will flash. In this situation, when any of the
track select keys are pressed the DD8 will punch into record on the se-
lected track(s) and the REC key will light steadily. When the track select
key is pressed again, that track will be punched out of record.
PRIMED In this mode, recording will start immediately on selected tracks when the
REC and PLAY keys are first pressed. After this, if new record tracks are
selected, the appropriate track select key(s) will flash indicating that the
track is in ‘record-ready’, but recording will not actually start until the PLAY
key is pressed again while holding down the REC key. While in record,
pressing the track select key of a track that is actually recording will punch
that track out of record and back into the ‘record-ready’ state.
