To use punch-in/punch-out recording with the
footswitch:
1. Make the connections shown in the illustration
above. In this example, we will be recording direct
to the track, so the input is connected to channel 4.
The second footswitch connected to the 0 RTN/
PLAY jack is optional.
2. Make the settings necessary for monitoring the
previously recorded tracks, as shown above. Set all
the INPUT SELECT switches to TRK and turn the
AUX SEND oortrols forthe tape tracks to their TRK
settings. Also make sure that the MONITOR switch
is set to AUX, the INPUT B switch is at MONMIX,
and the master AUX SEND and MONITOR controls
are set to suitable levels. (Since we are using the
AUX SEND to monitor the tape signals, the faders
on the channels can be set to 0.)
3. Select the track for recording with the REC SE¬
LECT switch. (Either direct or stereo buss record¬
ing can be used.) The appropriate REC TRACK
indicator will flash.
Track 4 indicator flashes.
4. P r ess the REC button to enable input monitoring,
then set the level of the input track. Set the AUX
SEND control for the channel to a suitable level so
that you can hear the input signal. Once you’ve set
the level, be sure to press REC again to turn input
monitoring off. (If you don’t, pressing the footswitch
once will not execute the punch-in. For this reason,
ALWAYS make sure the REC indicator in the
TRANSPORT display is off before attempting a
punch-tn.)
This flashes to indicate input monitoring; press
REC to lurn off before punch-in recording
5. Use the rehearsal function (described below) to
practice the punch-in and punch-out. Listen care¬
fully to the levels of the tape signal and the signal to
be recorded as you practice and adjust them as
necessary.
The rehearsal function lets you switch monitoring
between the tape track and the new part, making it
easy to compare levels.
6. When you’re ready to record, press the rehearsal
switch to turn off the rehearsal function, then press
PLAY.
7. As you listen to the previously recorded part, press
the footswitch at the point you wish to start recording
or punch in. The previously recorded part will be
erased and replaced by the current part.
8. Press the footswitch again to stop recording or
punch out.
