7 - Recorder Functions 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 the Play (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 and choose a point to begin where the new recording can sit well with the existing recording. 2. Press the REC button of the TRACK that you plan to replace part of to start record standby (REC indicator blinks). 3. Start playback before the part of the track that you want to replace. 4. Press the Record (0) button to start recording (punch in) when you reach the part. Play or sing what you want to record. 5. Press the Play (7) button to switch to playback (punch out) when you finish the replacement recording. TIP You can also press the Stop (8) button to punch out at the end of the replacement recording. Bouncing tracks Use this unit's bounce function to mix already recorded tracks (1-4) down to one or two tracks. Multitrack tape recorders can only bounce to an open track (in other words, they can not record to a track that is also a source of the mix). For example, tracks 1-3 could be bounced to track 4, but tracks 1-4 could not be bounced to track 1. This unit, however, does not have this limitation. You can mix down tracks 1-4 as a stereo mix to tracks 1 and 2 (stereo bounce), or bounce tracks 1-4 as a mono mix to track 1 (mono bounce). Track 1 Drum L Track 2 Drum R Track 3 Bass Track 4 Guitar Tracks 1-4 are mixed down to stereo and bounced to tracks 1-2 Track 1 and 2 Drums, Bass, Guitar Track 1 and 2 Drums, Bass, Guitar Track 3 Track 4 Bass Guitar (can be (can be overwritten) overwritten) New recordings can be made to tracks 3-4 Track 3 Track 4 Lead Lead Guitar Vocal Source tracks are erased when they are bounce destinations. (In the illustration above the drum parts are overwritten by the stereo mix). However, you can use the unit's (undo) function to return to the previous state if you make a mistake. (See "Undoing operations (undo)" on page 58.) NOTE Inside this unit, a mixdown is made to create a stereo master track that is recorded to the designated tracks. 61 TASCAM DP-006
