1.2E Rehearsing
This works just like a real recording, but instead lets you “audition”
exactly how a punch is going to work. By pressing the REHEARSE
button, you can test out and change the settings of the various
recording functions to get the results you want without being
destructive in the process. When the punch-in point is reached, the
record-enabled tracks will monitor their inputs, but no recording will
occur. This way you can measure twice (or more) … and cut only once.
For more information on Rehearse mode, see section 3.5.
1.2F Digital Bus
With both the sync and digital bus cables connected, the BRC/ADAT
system offers powerful digital track bouncing and copying functions.
Let’s say you want to replace the chorus vocal on track 15 with the
one you liked on track 2. This is easy to do with the two connections
that all ADATs in the system share: the sync cable, carrying the
timing and sync information, and the optical cable which carries the
digital audio bus. The new chorus on track 15 will be an exact digital
duplicate of the one on track 2.
If you feel particularly inspired one day, but can’t make up your mind
about which lead solo to go with, fill five or six tracks of a single S-
VHS cassette tape with your hottest playing. This is easy using the
Auto-Group Record function to automatically advance the record
track(s) for playing multiple takes. Later on, you can take the best
performance, or the best parts of each one and recompose the entire
solo onto a new track. All in perfect sync, all sample accurate, all in
the digital domain. The popular recording practice of composite
vocals is just as easy, and more effective than ever with ADAT to
support your efforts.
