Punch-in/out Auto punch-in/out Auto punch-in/out is a function that performs the punch-in and punch-out operations automatically. In order to use this function, you must first specify the punch-in location (the In point) and the punch-out location (the Out point). 1 Call the RECORD screen Direct page, and make sure that your instrument/mic is assigned to the track on which you want to punch-in. 2 Locate to the point at which you want to punch-in. 3 Hold down the Locate section [SET] key 7 and press the [IN] key. The current location will be registered as the In point. Overdubbing 4 Locate to the point at which you want to punch-out. 5 Hold down the Locate section [SET] key and press the [OUT] key. The current location will be registered as the Out point. HINT • If you want to set the In and Out points more precisely, you can use the Nudge function (→ p. 94) which repeatedly plays a short region before or after the current location, or use the WAVE DISPLAY popup window (→ p. 69) which lets you view the contents of the track as a waveform. • The In point and Out point will be updated each time you record. The location at which you last started recording will be registered as the In point, and the location at which you last stopped recording will be registered as the Out point. 6 Press the Locate section [AUTO PUNCH] key. The [AUTO PUNCH] key will light, and the Auto Punch-in/out function will be enabled. You will automatically locate to a point a specific distance (the "preroll time") ahead of the In point. This point is called the "pre-roll point." NOTE • If the auto punch-in/out region is too short or too long (less than approximately 100 msec or greater than one hour), an error message will appear, and you won't be able to specify the Out point. • You can't change the In/Out points if the [AUTO PUNCH] key is lit. If you need to change the In/Out points, you must first defeat the Auto Punch-in/out function. 7 To rehearse the auto punch-in/out, press the PLAY [ ] key. When you press the PLAY [ ] key while the [AUTO PUNCH] key is lit, the following will occur. 1 The PLAY [ ] key will light, and playback will begin from the pre-roll point. B When you reach the auto punch-in point, the REC [●] key will begin blinking, and the signal that you are monitoring from the recording-destination track channel will switch from the track playback to the input signal (recording-source). (However, recording will not actually occur.) C When you reach the auto punch-out point, the REC [●] key will go dark, and the signal that you are monitoring from the recording-destination track channel will return to the track playback. D When you reach a point that is a specific distance (the "post-roll time") after the Out point (this point is called the "post-roll point"), you will return to the pre-roll point and stop. HINT • If you turn the Locate section [REPEAT] key on before step 7, operations 1-4 of step 7 will be repeated up to fifteen times. (The A-B Repeat function is disabled during this time.) If you want to stop repeating the rehearsal, press the [REPEAT] key once again or press the STOP [■] key. • With the initial settings of the AW2400, the pre-roll and postroll times are each set to four seconds. You can adjust these values in a range of 0-20 seconds (→ p. 210, 211). 8 To perform the actual auto punch-in/out, stop the recorder, then hold down the REC [●] key and press the PLAY [ ] key. When you press the REC [●] key + PLAY [ ] key while the [AUTO PUNCH] key is lit, the following will occur. 1 Only the PLAY [ ] key will light, and playback will begin from the pre-roll point. B When you reach the auto punch-in point, the REC [●] key will light, and recording will begin ("punch-in"). C When you reach the auto punch-out point, the REC [●] key will go dark, recording will stop, and you will return to playback mode ("punch-out"). D When you reach the post-roll point, you will return to the pre-roll point and stop. At this time, the [UNDO/REDO] key in the data entry / control section will light. 9 To check the newly-recorded content, press the [AUTO PUNCH] key to make it go dark, and then press the PLAY [ ] key. 70 AW2400 Owner's Manual
