5. PUNCH-IN OR INSERT RECORDING
The
TSR-8
can
manually
punch
in
with
the
master
RECORD
button,
the
Track
Record
Enable
buttons,
or
the
optional
RC-30P
footswitch.
You
can
also
program
the
punch-in
and
punch-out
with
the
REHEARSAL
and
AUTO
IN/OUT
functions
so
the
TSR-8
automatically
punches
in
and
out
for
you.
Manual Punch-In
METHOD
A:
Punching
with
the
master
RECORD
button
or
footswitch
1. Make the following preliminary settings:
a) Press the Record Enable button of the track you
intend to INSERT on. Its LED will start blinking.
b) Press the INSERT switch. Its LED will light solid.
c) Adjust the recording and monitoring fevels for the
desired balance.
2. Press PLAY. You can use the INSERT switch to
toggle
the
TSR-8’s
meter
and
output
between
source
and
tape.
While
the
tape
is
in
PLAY
and
INSERT
is
on,
you'll
hear
tape;
while
tape
is
stopped
or
INSERT
is
off,
you'll hear source.
3. When the tape reaches the desired punch-in point,
press
RECORD
or
the
footswitch
to
start
recording.
The
monitor switches from tape to input on that track. The
master
RECORD
LED
and
Track
Record
LED
both
stay
on.
4. Punch out by pressing STOP, PLAY or the foot-
switch.
METHOD B: Punching with the Track Record button
This method is sometimes called “rolling in record’’
and requires that you have a free hand.
1. After the recording and monitoring levels are set,
make sure that all tracks are SAFE (no track LED blink-
ing).
2. Press RECORD and PLAY together to start
playing
the
tape.
The
RECORD
LED
will
blink,
showing
that the TSR-8 is in record-ready mode.
3. Press the punch-in track’s record button when the
tape reaches the punch-in point. The master RECORD
and track record LEDs will both light up steadily,
showing that recording is taking place.
4. To punch out, press the Track Record button
again (you could also press STOP or PLAY).
