PUNCH I/O
SINGLE TAKE
Multi-take auto punch-in/out
Multi-take auto punch-in/out allows you to perform auto punch-in/out recording two or
more times, then to audition all takes (including the original) and select the best take. Multi-
take auto punch-in/out allows you to record up to 99 takes, as long as blank area remains.
1. Connect an audio source to the MD4S, and press a REC SELECT button (or
the BUS button + REC SELECT button) to select the track that you wish to
record.
2. Set the auto punch-in/out points.
See "Specify the auto punch-in/out points" on page 55 for more information.
3. Press the AUTO PUNCH I/O button.
The display will indicate "SINGLE TAKE."
4. Rotate the DATA dial to make the display read "MULTI TAKE."
5. Press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate "TAKE 1 Load" for a short time. Then the AUTO PUNCH MULTI
indicator will light, indicating that multi-take auto punch-in/out has been selected. The dis-
play will indicate "TAKE 1 Rehe," and the MD4S will be in auto punch-in/out rehearsal-pause
mode.
Rehearsing the auto punch-in/out (multi-take)
6. Press the PLAY button to begin rehearsing the auto punch-in/out.
In the same way as in single-take auto punch-in/out, the monitor signal of the track selected
for recording will switch from the track playback to the recording source between the auto
punch-in/out points. Recording will not actually occur.
Tip: While rehearsing the auto punch-in/out, you can press the REPEAT button to
automatically repeat the rehearsal.
