Punching recording

When we talk about "punch recording", we mean going
from play mode into record mode without stopping the

transport key to punch in.
When recording, press the PLAY
(punch out).

Bouncing

The unit provides eight tracks for recording. But what
happens if you want to record more than eight instru-
ments? You can take existing tracks, mix them, and record
them to unused tracks, freeing up the tracks you just mixed
for recording additional tracks. See "Bouncing" on page 34
for full details.

Track editing

Because the DP-02 is a hard disk and the DP-02CF is a
Compact Flash card recorder, there are many options avail-
able to you which would be extremely difficult, or even
impossible, with a tape-based recording system.
See "About track editing" on page 47 for details of copy,
cut, and paste, etc. operations that you can perform on the
both unit.

Undoing/Redoing an operation

If you have made a mistake, very often you can undo it.
This includes the track editing operations described here,
as well as most other common operations you can perform

Also, if you make a mistake undoing an action, you can
undo the undo (that is, you redo the action).
