Punching in and out
Punching in/out is a technique 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 the part that you
want to replace (punch out).
1. Decide what part of the track you plan to replace.
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 replace 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.
The unit switches to recording (punch in).
5. When you finish the replacement recording, press
the PLAY (7) button.
The unit switches to playback (punch out).
TIP
You can also press the STOP (8) button to punch out at
the end of the replacement recording.
Using a foot switch to punch in/out
You can connect the dedicated foot switch (TASCAM RC-
3F) to the REMOTE jack on the front panel and use it to
punch in and out.
In step 4 above, step on the foot switch instead of
pressing the RECORD (0) button, and in step 5, step on
the foot switch again instead of pressing the PLAY (7)
button.
