Operation section
Automatically re-recording only a
specific area (Auto Punch-in/out)
It is also possible to automatically punch-in/out when
you come to a pre-specified point. This is called “auto
punch-in/out.” This section explains the procedure for
auto punch-in/out.
1
Locate the song to the point where you
want to punch-in. Then hold down the
[SET] key and press the LAST REC [IN] key.
In order to use the auto punch-in/out function,
you must first specify the punch-in and punch-
out points. Use the two locate buttons In point
and Out point to specify these points.
When you hold down the [SET] key and press the
LAST REC [IN] key, the LAST REC [IN] key will
light, indicating that this location has been
assigned as the In point.
Tip!
Unless you specify otherwise, the locations at which
recording most recently began and ended will be
assigned as the In point and Out point respectively.
2
Locate the song to the point where you
want to punch-out. Then hold down the
[SET] key and press the LAST REC [OUT]
key.
The LAST REC [OUT] key will light, indicating
that this location has been assigned as the Out
point.
Be aware that auto punch-in/out cannot be executed
if the Out point is set earlier than the In point, or if
the In point and Out point are too close (less than
approximately 100 msec).
Tip!
Fine adjustments can be made to the in/out point
locations in millisecond units or sub-frame units, as
necessary. For details refer to page 104.

Press the [REC TRACK SELECT] key of the
track that you want to re-record.
The [REC TRACK SELECT] key will blink, and it
will be in record-ready mode.
4
Press the [TRACK] key
→
[F1] key.
In the INPUT MONITOR area, make sure that the
AUTO button is turned on. If it is not on, move
the cursor to the AUTO button and press the
[ENTER] key.
5
In the Locate section, make sure that the
LAST REC [IN]/[OUT] keys are lit, and press
the [AUTO PUNCH] key.
The [AUTO PUNCH] key will light, and you will
locate to a point a certain time ahead of the
punch-in point (the pre-roll time).
Tip!
• When executing auto punch-in/out, you can specify
a fixed length of playback that will occur immedi-
ately before punch-in and immediately after punch-
out. The length of playback before the punch-in
time is called the “pre-roll time,” and the length of
playback after the punch-out time is called the
“post-roll time.”
• With the factory settings, the pre-roll/post-roll times
are set to 5 seconds respectively, but you may
change these settings if desired (
→
• The point at which pre-roll begins is called the “pre-
roll point,” and the point at which post-roll ends is
called the “post-roll point.”
While the [AUTO PUNCH] key is lit, Transport/Locate
operations other than the STOP [
]/PLAY [
]/REC
[
] keys are disabled.
