Selecting in and
out
points
6. Press the RECORD FUNCTION "2" switch. The REC 2 indicator will
start blinking in the meter window, and meter 2 will show the
level from your instrument. Adjust the channel fader and the
MASTER 1/L-2/R fader for the proper recording level. Set the
balance between the new signal and the recorded one with the
TAPE 2 MIX control.
For both musical and technical reasons, when punching in or out of a
track, you must select points that are "in the points clear", i.e., in the
pauses between phrases or notes. It sounds unnatural and makes the
insert noticeable if you record a new note before the old one has
ended, or are holding a note as you punch in or out. Making inserts
well requires some practice. Because of the spacing between the
erase and record heads, you need to anticipate your in/out points by a
fraction of a second for extremely tight cues. Use the following
procedures with the RHSL switch on.
Punching-in/out with RECORD
1. Check to see that the REC 2 indicator is blinking, showing track 2
is in Rec Ready mode. Locate the tape a little behind the expected
punch-in point. Then, press PLAY.
2. When you reach JUST BEFORE the error, press RECORD. The
REC 2 indicator that was blinking will turn on solid and track 2
enters Record mode. The tape signal on track 2 will be muted in
monitor mix.
3. To punch-out of record, press PLAY. The REC 2 indicator that was
on solid will again blink, indicating that recording is over. You will
hear the output of track 2 again in monitor mix.
4. To stop the tape, press STOP.
