4.5.5 Mute Tracks
Mute Tracks is used to temporarily turn off disk tracks that are not in use. Unlike a
monitor mute, which only turns off the track monitoring, Mute Tracks actually
shuts off the track at the disk drive. This effectively increases the disk drive’s
available bandwidth.
Mute Tracks is most used for ensuring seamless punch-out monitoring during
overdubs. If you perform a punch-in/punch out recording operation, the punch-
out will be seamless (i.e. no gap - a smooth switch between input and track
monitoring), if the following condition is met:
The punch-out monitoring will be seamless if the number of “free” disk tracks
equals or exceeds the number of tracks you are recording on that disk unit.
Thus, if the disk activity exceeds the amount necessary for seamless punch-out (i.e.
all 8 disk tracks are in playback, but you need to overdub on just two tracks, you
may use Mute Tracks to turn off two other tracks on the disk, freeing the bandwidth
to enable the seamless punch-out monitoring.
Complete operating instructions for this feature appear in §7.14.
