The Remote 48 provides a button for each the four Numbered Locates (numbered LOC 1,
LOC 2, LOC 3, and LOC 4). The function of these Locates has been discussed In
conjunction with STORE and RECALL, these buttons allow you to set and recall looping
(LOC 1, LOC 2) and auto-punching (LOC 3, LOC 4) points. Used by itself, each button acts
as an instant “go to” command for the stored location. Note that the methodology for
viewing and storing Locate values on the Remote 48 differs from the GUI and keyboard. For
more details see
Numbered Locates (page 58), Looping , and Auto Punch .
LOOP
The LOOP button enables (toggles on and off) a mode in which the Play command causes the
transport to Loop (Play through forward to the end of the loop then jump back and start again
at the start of the loop) between LOC 1 and LOC 2. More detail is provided on page 60. The
Loop LED is lit when enabled, and dark when disabled.
PUNCH
The PUNCH button enables an Auto Punch mode where the LOC 3 and LOC 4 are used for
the punch in and out points. The earliest point will be the punch in and the later point will be
the punch out. More detail is provided on page 82. The Punch LED is lit when enabled, and
dark when disabled.
REHEARSE
The REHEARSE button enables a mode in which punching in and out can be practiced
without actually recording anything. While in Rehearse mode the Punch In and Punch Out
points are automatically stored to LOC 3 and LOC 4 (respectively). Generally, a recording
pass can be rehearsed until the Punch points sound correct, after which the Auto Punch
function can make use of the last punch points stored to LOC 3 and LOC 4. While in
Rehearse mode the HDR will not record audio. Use PLAY, RECORD, and/or STOP to
engage/disengage master Record and to capture the punch points. Only the last two punch
in/out points will be remembered. Punching with a track’s RECORD READY buttons will
not be automatically captured. The Rehearse LED is lit when enabled, and dark when
disabled.
AUTO TAKE
Auto Take is a mode in which each subsequent recording pass on the same track(s)
automatically increments the Active Take of the selected track(s). That means further takes
can be recorded to the same track without discarding or covering-up previous takes. For the
artist, a Take is just another run at playing it right, but on the HDR 24/96 technically means
one of 8 tracks within each track onto which you can record. You can designate which take
you wish to be active or you can turn on the Auto Take mode and let the HDR do the work.
Once you have recorded on all 8 takes (or you reach the 8
th take for any reason – perhaps you
started on number 6), the Auto Take system rolls over to take number 1 and continues on.
You should be very conscious of what you are doing in Auto Take mode if you are trying to
collect several different versions of something without covering them up. If you stay in Auto
Take all night you'll end up with only last 8 takes by morning! Go to manual mode, or move
to new track if you need to preserve something.
The AUTO TAKE LED is lit when enabled, and dark when disabled.
