Punch-in recording
In punch-in recording the notes you play will be recorded in the exact timing with with you play them, but
only over the measures you specify. This is useful when you wish to re-record only a specific section of a
previously recorded track.
When to use punch-in
recording
Suppose that while recording track 2, you made a few mistakes in measures 15
and 16. While it is possible. to re-record the entire track, it is more efficient to
use punch-m recording to re-record only the measures necessary. There is no
purpose in using punch-m recording on a track which contains no data.
Punch-in recording allows you to specify the measure at which recording will
begin and the measure at which recording will end. Measures before and after
this area will not be affected.
The following diagram shows the result of punch-in recording.
