52 Advanced recording techniques Punch-in/out This section explains techniques using punch-in/out. Punch-in/out is a function that allows you to re-record just a specific portion of a previously-recorded track. While listening to the playback of a track, you can begin recording (punch-in) at the desired location, play the portion that you wish to re-record, and then stop recording (punch-out), thus re-recording only the portion where a mistake occurred. The MD4S allows you to use a variety of punch-in/out techniques. You can use "manual punch-in/out" by pressing the REC button or REC SELECT buttons or an optional FC5 foot switch. Alternatively, you can use "auto punch-in/out" that will automatically perform the operation at the previously-specified locations. You can also use the rehearsal function to practice the punch-in/out for any of these techniques.

Advanced recording techniques
—Owner’s Manual
Punch-in/out
This section explains techniques using punch-in/out. Punch-in/out is a function that allows
you to re-record just a specific portion of a previously-recorded track. While listening to the
playback of a track, you can begin recording (punch-in) at the desired location, play the por-
tion that you wish to re-record, and then stop recording (punch-out), thus re-recording only
the portion where a mistake occurred.
The MD4S allows you to use a variety of punch-in/out techniques. You can use “manual
punch-in/out” by pressing the REC button or REC SELECT buttons or an optional FC5 foot
switch. Alternatively, you can use “auto punch-in/out” that will automatically perform the
operation at the previously-specified locations. You can also use the rehearsal function to
practice the punch-in/out for any of these techniques.
