6. REHEARSAL PROGRAMMING AND AUTO IN/
OUT PROCEDURES
The
Auto
Locator
has
priority
over
the
Rehearsal
and
Auto
In/Out
modes.
If
LOC
1,
LOC
2,
REPEAT,
or
RTZ
is
pressed,
the
function
pressed
is
activated
erasing
all
the
memories
you
have
set
for
punch-in.
The
LED
RHSL
or
AUTO
IN/OUT
will
then
blink
until
CLEAR
is
pressed.
Programmed Rehearsal of Inserts (RHSL)
Before
you
actually
record
an
insert,
the
TSR-8
allows
you
to
“preview”
the
punch-in
and
out
points
with
its
special
REHEARSE
function.
During
a
re-
hearsal,
the
tracks
in
record

mode
will

meter and output from tape to source and back again,
but won't actually record. What you hear in your
monitor mix will be the same as during recording; so if
the first in-out points aren‘t correct, you'll hear it and
can CLEAR the old points and try again until you’ve got
exactly what you want.
CAUTION: Although the advanced circuitry of the
TSR-8
allows
gapless
punch-in
on
the
tape,
there
is
still
the
distance
between
the
erase
and
record
heads
to
be
compensated
for.
Depending
on
tape
speed,
the
time
from a punch point to the actual in/out is 1/15th or
1/8th of a second. A few practice runs will get you
accustomed to the timing of punching in.

NOTE: !f you want to quit what you are doing at
any time during the following procedures, press CLEAR.
