Punching in and out
Punching in/out is a technique used to replace a part of an
already recorded track.
Start playback and when you reach the part that you want
to replace, switch to record (punch in), then switch back to
playback (or stop) when you finish replacing the part that you
want (punch out).
1. Decide what part of the track you plan to re-record.
Choose a point to begin where the new recording can sit
well with the existing recording.
2. Press the REC buttons of the tracks that you want to partially
re-record to put them into recording standby (REC buttons
start flashing).
3. Start playback before the part you want to replace.
4. When the part you want to replace is reached, press the
RECORD (
0
) button and start your performance.
Recording starts (punch in).
5. When you finish the replacement recording, press the PLAY
(
t
) button.
Playback resumes (punch out).
TIP
You can also press the
STOP (
8
)
button to punch out at the end of
the replacement recording.
Using a footswitch to punch in/out
You can connect a TASCAM RC-3F footswitch (sold separately) to
the REMOTE jack on the front panel and use it to punch in and
out.
In step 4 above, step on the footswitch instead of pressing the
RECORD (
0
) button, and in step 5, step on the footswitch again
instead of pressing the PLAY (
t
) button.

Bouncing tracks
Like many multitrack recorders, this unit allows you to bounce
tracks (ping-pong recording). Track bouncing allows you to
combine the signals of multiple tracks and use them to create
new mono or stereo recordings. In this way, you can virtually
record more than 32 tracks. Note, however, that the original
tracks cannot be separated again, so save them if they are
important to you.
