Using the IN OUT and TO marks
Jump to
these marks simply by pressing the
IN
,
OUT
or
TO
key, as appropriate.
Titling using the list
1
Press the
LOCATE
key.
2
Select the location mark to be renamed, using
the wheel (or the cursor keys).
3
Press the shifted TITLE key.
4
Give a title to the mark, using the procedure
described in “Titling” on page 12.
5
When you press
ENTER
to confirm the name,
the screen returns to the list.
Two marks can have the same title (but it is not a very
sensible idea to give the same title to more than one
mark), but they cannot have the same time value.
It is not possible to rename the IN, OUT or TO
marks—these have special functions, and cannot be
renamed.
Repeat
You can repeat playback between the IN and OUT
points by pressing and releasing the
REPEAT
key so
that the indicator lights.
Repeat recording is handled using the auto punch
facility (see “Auto punch operations” on page 46)
Setting the repeat interval
On a tape recorder repeating a section, there is a
delay while the tape rewinds. The “instant rewind” of
a disk recorder can give you no time to prepare your
fingers, take a breath, etc. ready for the next take.
The 2488 allows you to set a time between reaching
the OUT point and starting to replay from the IN
point again: from 0 seconds to 9.9 seconds.
1
Press and hold the REPEAT key so that a
popup screen appears.
2
Use the wheel to set the interval, and ENTER
to confirm the value.
Auto punch operations
Punch operations allow you to start and stop record-
ing at predefined points, and these can be automated,
as described here.
When auto punch recording begins, playback starts at
pre-roll point some time before recording is due to
start, the punch-in point is reached, and recording
starts. When the punch-out point is reached, record-
ing stops, and playback continues until the post-roll
point.
In addition, when you perform an auto punch record-
ing, during the pre-roll period, you hear what has
previously been recorded, together with the signal
source; during the punch recording itself, you hear
the signal source alone; and for the post-roll period,
you hear the previously recorded material and the
signal source together.
The 2488 allows all of this to happen in rehearsal
mode as well as in an actual recording mode. The
rehearsal mode allows you to simulate the punch
recording, both to practise the actual take, and also to
check punch points before recording actually begins.
You can also use the repeat function together with the
punch operations, allowing you to make repeated
rehearsals of a punch section, as well as repeated
takes of the same section (multi-takes) or when
you’re recording, repeated recordings can be used as
multi-takes. When you have recorded a section many
times in this way, you can then choose the best possi-
ble take to insert into the track.
