7 - Recorder Functions Performing auto punch in/out After finishing your rehearsal, perform the auto punch in/ out. 1. Press the REHEARSE button to turn off the REHEARSE button. 2. Press the RECORD (0) button. •• Playback starts from the pre-roll point. You can monitor both the track playback signal and the input source signal. •• When the punch in point is reached, the monitoring changes to input source signal only, and the RECORD (0) button lights. •• When the punch out point is reached, the monitoring of both the track playback signal and input source signal starts, and the RECORD (0) button becomes unlit. •• Playback continues until the post-roll point and stops. Before starting the punch in/out recording, you can press the REPEAT button so that the REPEAT button becomes lit, and then, using the virtual track feature, repeat the punch in/out recording until 8 times (8 takes). After the recording, you can choose your favorite take from one of the 8 takes recorded in the virtual tracks. (See "Checking a take" below.) NOTE You can undo auto punch in/out operations. Checking a take After recording a take, follow the procedure below to check the take. Once the punch in/out recording is completed, the VIRTUAL TRACK screen appears as follows. 1. Use the JOG/DATA dial or the CURSOR (5/b) buttons to select (blue highlight) a take from the list. 2. Press the F4 (LOAD) to load, assign each virtual track to a physical track, and check the playback. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to check another take. 3. If you are satisfied with the result, press the VIRTUAL TRACK button to exit Virtual Track mode. To exit from Auto Punch mode too, press the AUTO PUNCH button. If you are not satisfied with the result, press the RECORD (0) button again and record another take. Virtual tracks This unit allows 8 virtual tracks for each track. Since there are 8 virtual tracks for each track, you can record multiple takes of lead vocals or improvised solos, and then choose the best takes afterwards. After recording, assign a separate virtual track to a physical track, and then record another take. By repeating this process, you can use multiple virtual tracks to hold different takes. NOTE The virtual tracks are mono tracks. When assigning virtual tracks to a physical track of a stereo pair, you must assign them separately to the L and R channels. Follow the procedure below to assign a virtual track to a physical track. 1. Press the SELECT button of a track you want to assign a virtual track to when the Home screen is displayed, and then press the VIRTUAL TRACK button. The VIRTUAL TRACK screen appears. You can also press the VIRTUAL TRACK button first, then select a track on the VIRTUAL TRACK screen. NOTE When creating a song, the virtual track #1 is assigned to each physical track. Recording, playback, and editing is only possible with virtual tracks assigned to physical tracks. You can also assign an already recorded virtual track to a physical track and record over it. 2. Use the JOG/DATA dial to select the virtual track that you want to assign. 3. Press the F4 (LOAD) button to assign the virtual track to a physical track. The assignment to the physical track is shown by an icon on the screen. NOTE •• To delete a virtual track, press the F3 (CLEAR) button in step 3 above. •• A virtual track assigned to a physical track cannot be deleted. •• You can assign an unused virtual track. The track becomes an empty track. 59 TASCAM DP-24
