Rerecording part of a song (Punch In/Out)
You can rerecord only part of a song with which you are not satisfied or in which you have found a mistake.
This operation is called “Punch In/Out Recording.” “Punch In” means switching from playback to recording
and “Punch Out” means switching from recording to playback. Punch In/Out recording can be done auto¬
matically (Auto Punch In/Out) or manually using a foot switch (Manual Punch In/Out). This section explains
Auto Punch In/Out recording. To perform this operation, you need to set the punch-in time and punch-out
time. The FD-8 features rehearsal mode, in which you can first practice your punch in/out until you are
satisfied. As an example, we rerecord part of the guitar performance we have recorded on track 1 in the
previous section.
