.
First check to see that the source is connected to the correct input jack. If you're
punching into a track just recorded, there is no need of repatching.
During rehearsal, what you hear in the monitor mix and read cm the level meters
will be the same as during recording, but any signal won't be recorded con tape. So
you can rehearse your punch-in as many times as ycm need without destroying the
origina take at all.
