Repeatedly Recording Over the Same
Area (Loop Recording)
You can repeatedly play back a specified area (the
loop) and use Auto Punch-In Recording in that area.
This is called
Loop Recording . This is convenient for
when you want to check the results immediately after
recording, or if you want to record a number of takes
of a guitar solo and compare the different takes.
Before you begin recording, specify the begin and end
times for the loop. There are three ways to specify the
loop times. Use the method appropriate for your situa-
tion.
* To specify the area re-recording (the punch-in point and
punch-out point), refer to the previous section “Auto
Punch-In.”
* Make settings so that the loop completely includes the
area to be rerecorded (i.e., from the punch-in point to the
punch-out point). If the area to be rerecorded is not com-
pletely within the loop, recording may not start at the
specified location, or may be interrupted in the middle of
the area for recording.
Using Locators
1. First store locate points where you want to begin
and end the loop.
2. While holding down [LOOP], press the LOCA-
TOR button for the locate point where you want
the loop to begin.
3. Without releasing [LOOP], press the LOCATOR
button which specified the end of the loop.
To Use Markers
Adjacent mark points can be used to set the beginning
and end of the loop.
1. First, set mark points where you want to punch in
and punch out.
2. Move to the mark point at the beginning of the
loop.
3. While holding down [LOOP], press [NEXT].
4. Without releasing [LOOP], press [PREVIOUS].
