5. PUNCH-IN OR INSERT RECORDING
Manual Punch-In
1. Make the following preliminary settings:
a) Press the Record Enable button of the track you
intend to INSERT on. Its LED will start blinking.
b) Press the INSERT switch. Its LED will light solid.
c) Adjust the recording and monitoring fevels for the
desired balance.
2. Press PLAY. You can use the INSERT switch to
toggle the TSR-8's meter
and output
between source
and tape. While the tape is in PLAY
and INSERT is on,
you'll hear tape; while tape is stopped or INSERT is off,
you'll hear source.
3. When the tape reaches the desired punch-in point,
press RECORD
or the footswitch to start recording. The
monitor switches from tape to input on that track. The
master RECORD
LED and Track Record LED both stay
on.
4. Punch out by pressing STOP, PLAY or the foot-
switch.
METHOD B: Punching with the Track Record button
This method is sometimes called "rolling in record''
and requires that you have a free hand.
1. After the recording and monitoring levels are set,
make sure that all tracks are SAFE (no track LED blink-
ing).
2. Press RECORD and PLAY together to start
playing the tape. The RECORD
LED will blink, showing
that the TSR-8 is in record-ready mode.
3. Press the punch-in track's record button when the
tape reaches the punch-in point. The master RECORD
and track record LEDs will both light up steadily,
showing that recording is taking place.
4. To punch out, press the Track Record button
again (you could also press STOP or PLAY).
