Punch-In Procedure - Tascam 414MKII PortaStudio Owner's Manual

Punch-in Procedure

There are 2 ways to initiate the punch-in recording.
The first is with the transport RECORD button, and
the second is with the optional footswitch.
Perform the "Preliminary" on the previous page, if
you haven't yet done so.
Punching-in/out with RECORD
1
Check to see that the track 2's REC
indicator is blinking showing the track is in
the Rec Ready mode. Locate the tape a little
behind the expected punch-in point. Then
press PLAY.
2
When you reach JUST BEFORE the error,
hold PLAY and push RECORD. The REC
indicator that was blinking will glow solid
and track 2 enters the Record mode.
3
To punch-out of record, push STOP (or
PAUSE). The REC indicator that was lit
solidly blinks to indicate that recording is
over.
PUNCH-IN or INSERT Recording
Using the remote footswitch
(RC-30P)
RC-30P
If you are recording alone and are too busy playing
an instrument to push the switches, the optional
remote footswitch really comes in handy.
1
Plug the RC-30P into the REMOTE
PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the front of the
414 MKII.
2
Check that the track 2's REC indicator is
blinking, and locate the tape to a point a
little before the error, then press PLAY.
3
When you reach JUST BEFORE the error,
press the footswitch, and the REC indicator
that was blinking will glow steadily to
indicate the track is in the Record mode.
4
To punch-out of record, press the footswitch
again. The REC indicator will start blinking
again.
5
To stop the tape, press STOP.
