Seamless Punch Out Monitoring
At the punch-out point, the monitor circuits now switch from input to playback seam-
lessly. (Previously, monitoring was muted for an instant as the punch-out occurred.)
The number of tracks with which seamless punch out monitoring can be used simul-
taneously is limited by the following factors: recording media (MO or hard disk), sam-
pling rate (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz), and recording resolution (16-, 20-, or 24-bit), as
shown in the following table.
The maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out consists of the number of
tracks previously recorded (i.e., the number of tracks playing back) and the number of
tracks selected for punch in/out recording. For example, the maximum number of
tracks for seamless punch out using an MO disk at 48 kHz/24-bit is eight, so if four
tracks have already been recorded, up to four tracks can be selected for seamless punch
out.
If the maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out is exceeded (i.e., a greater
number tracks are selected for recording), punch out monitoring will not be seamless.
Audio recorded to disk is always seamless.
