After finishing the punch

is the best (or if none of them was any good,
select
version).

If you change your mind

Like recording, an punch operation is undoable (see
"Undoing and redoing actions" on page 70). It is
shown in the list of operations as an
operation.
In addition, as we mentioned earlier, the third choice

AUTO PUNCH

multi-takes from the last punch session.
However, if you have recorded anything, performed

Varispeed operations (pitch and SSA)

You can play back and record at speeds which are
greater or less than the original (±6%) to allow for
differences in tuning, etc.
It is also possible to play back a selected pair of
tracks at the same pitch, but slower than the original
(the 788's Slow Speed Audition feature). This allows
you to rehearse tricky lead lines, etc. at a slower
speed, and can be combined with repeat playback
("Repeat playback" on page 51) for easy rehearsals.

normal playback,; that is, if they have been assigned to a
