Tascam DA-38 - Manual (Page 13)

SECTION 4: RECORDING
(3) Auto Punch In and Out
When you perform the following steps, the original take is
permanently lost. Repeat the rehearsal until you are sure
your performance and the in/out points are correct.
The DA-38 has an Auto punch in/out function and it drops
into and out of record exactly at the same points as during
rehearsal. Also, an Auto check function offers a prompt
audition of your retake.

Fly
As mentioned earlier, when you start recording (with
REGORD + PLAY or with the optional footswitch), and
terminate recording, the start and the end points are auto­
matically saved to memory, so you can have retakes be
punched in and out at those memory points (without pass­
ing through rehearsal).
