Record Options

There are a number of options available to make your recording session easier.

Safe Mode

Safe mode (SETUP:Record:Safe)
disarms all tracks and disables the
Record Ready and master Record
buttons. Use safe mode to prevent
anyone from inadvertently activating
record mode and ruining your perfect
song.

Preroll Before Locator

Turning on the Preroll Before Locator
option (SETUP:Record:PreLoc)
causes the Preroll time (see “Preroll”
next) to be subtracted from the locate
time when jumping to a Locate point.

Preroll

Here is where you enter the preroll
offset (SETUP:Record:PreRo) in
Seconds and Frames. This value is
subtracted from Locate points when
Preroll Before Locator
(SETUP:Record:PreLoc) is turned on,
and from the Punch Start Point when
Loc3-4 PreR/PostR

locator mode (SETUP:Record:Page Right:LocMd) is turned

on and both LOOP and PUNCH are active.

1. Select Zero to reset the current preroll time to zero.
2. Press Page Right to change the preroll time. A blinking cursor appears

over the first numeral of the preroll time. Use the increment (Inc) and
decrement (Dec) buttons to change the highlighted numeral. Use the >>
button to move to the next numeral.

3. Press the Page Left button when finished, and then select OK to save

the new preroll time.

Postroll

Here is where you enter the postroll
offset (SETUP:Record:PostRo) in
Seconds and Frames. This value is
added to the Punch End point when

locator mode

(SETUP:Record:Page Right:LocMd)
is turned on and both LOOP and
PUNCH

are active.

1. Select Zero to reset the current postroll time to zero.
2. Press Page Right to change the postroll time. A blinking cursor

appears over the first numeral of the postroll time. Use the increment
(Inc) and decrement (Dec) buttons to change the highlighted numeral. Use
the >> button to move to the next numeral.

3. Press the Page Left button when finished, and then select OK to save

the new postroll time.
