OTARI RADAR II, Operation Manual, Page: 67 / 261

Seamless punch-out will NOT occur under these conditions:
You have recorded on tracks 1 through 20.
You rewind the transport, then arm tracks 1 through 4 for an overdub.
When you punch in, monitoring switches automatically from playback to
input; however when you punch out, there is a brief (sub 1 second) delay.
The seamless punch out does not occur because the disk’s throughput would have
exceeded its 24-track limit!
What if I really have to get a seamless punch out here???
In these situations, you may make use of RADAR II’s MUTE TRACKS feature,
available under the Edit menu. With Mute Tracks, you may temporarily “turn off ”
tracks that are not in use, increasing the amount of disk drive throughput. In the
above example, you would use MUTE TRACKS to temporarily mute tracks 5 and
6; the disk overhead would allow you to punch in on tracks 1 through 4, and get a
seamless punch-out on all four tracks.
Please Note: Track Solo/Track Mute features are monitor functions, and do not affect the
amount of disk activity. You must use the MUTE TRACKS feature (Edit
Menu, §7.13) to temporarily turn off unneeded tracks.
The MUTE TRACKS dialog can be quickly displayed by pressing the M
key on the Session Controller. (The function is still accessible from the Edit
Menu.)
3.6.4 Record Safe Feature
The record-ready buttons may be placed in and out of “REC SAFE” mode using
the CLEAR/SAFE button on the Session Controller.
Pressing this button turns off all REC-READYs; pressing it again returns the
previously rec-readied tracks to REC-READY status.
3.6.5 Clear REC-READY
You may use the CLEAR/SAFE button to clear all REC-READied tracks– simply
press the SHIFT button (upper right corner of Session Controller) then press
CLEAR/SAFE. This clears all REC-READied tracks (or all soloed tracks.)
3.6.6 Recording to Time Code
RADAR II will record while synced to an external time code source, enabling
frame-accurate editing to almost any external source. Time code features are
described in Section 5.
