Tascam MX-2424, Owner'S Manual

Page: 40 / 67

TL-Tape Mode This recording mode allows the MX-2424 to record just like a traditional tape machine
creating seamless audio events per track. Any recording performed directly overwrites
the previous audio. THERE IS NO UNDO AVAILABLE WHEN RECORDING IN TL-
TAPE MODE. TL-Tape mode is useful for people who are familiar with tape recorders
and wish to continue working in that fashion. Other uses for TL-Tape mode include
creating single time-stamped audio files per track for importing into other digital audio
workstations or simply for conserving disk space on the MX-2424 since TL-Tape Mode
creates only one audio file per track.
202 Record Key
This Menu allows one-button ( REC ) or two-button ( REC + PLAY ) punch modes to be selected.
Play In this mode PLAY [35] must be held down and REC [37] pressed exactly when it is
desired to enter recording mode. To punch out press PLAY [35] alone. (This is the
default setting.)
Record In this mode REC [37] alone is used to punch in to recording mode. To punch out, press
PLAY [35] alone.
203 Rehearse Key
This Menu allows one-button ( REH ) or two-button ( REH + PLAY ) rehearse modes to be selected. Rehearse mode
will switch any track that is record-enabled to input for monitoring new audio without recording it.
RPlay In this mode PLAY [35] must be held down and REH [37] pressed exactly when it is
desired to enter rehearse mode. To punch out press the
PLAY [35]
alone. (This is the
default setting.)
Rehearse In this mode REH [37] alone is used to punch in to rehearse mode. To punch out press
PLAY [35] alone.
204 Capt React Time
The setting of this menu will allow back-timing of captured values to compensate for consistently late captures
which may vary from person to person. This value may be set in one frame increments from 0 – 255 frames.
(Default setting is 0.)
210 Loop Mode
This Menu determines how the MX-2424’s transport will function when LOOP [26] is pressed. If Auto
Record/Rehearse is enabled ( SHIFT + REC or SHIFT + REH ) this operation will also be performed within the
selected Loop Mode. Pressing the LOOP key immediately engages the transport and any pending Auto Punch
operation.
(NOTE: The MX-2424 will not loop over “midnight” {time code location 00:00:00:00}. If it is necessary to use
00:00:00:00 as the In point of a Loop operation then the pre-roll will have to be set to zero and audition key
commands relative to the In point will not be possible.)
Play Repeatedly This setting will cause the MX-2424 to play from the In point (with Pre-Roll) through the
Out point (with Post-Roll) repeatedly until
STOP [34]
is pressed. (This is the default
setting.)
Play Once & Cue This setting will cause the MX-2424 to play from the In point (with Pre-Roll) through the
Out point (with Post-Roll), then locate back to the In point (with Pre-Roll) and stop,
disengaging LOOP .
