Re-recording only a
specified region (punch-in/
out function)
Punch-in/out is a function that lets you re-record just a
specified region of a previously recorded track. The
action of switching a currently-playing track to record
mode is called "punch-in", and the action of switching
back from recording to playback is called "punch-out".
The MRS-8 provides two ways to do this. You can use the
panel keys to punch-in/out manually ("manual punch-in/
out"), or you can cause punch-in/out to occur
automatically at previously specified points ("auto
punch-in/out").

Manual punch-in/out

To re-record a part of a track using the panel keys,
proceed as follows.
1.
Raise the fader of the track on which to
perform punch-in/out to a suitable position.
2.
Press the status key of that track
repeatedly, until the key is lit in red.
3.
Play your instrument connected to the
INPUT jack and adjust the input sensitivity
and recording level as required.
For information on how to adjust input sensitivity and
recording level, see page 15.
4.
Locate a point shortly before the intended
punch-in point, and press the PLAY [ R ] key
to begin playback.
5.
When you come to the punch-in point,
press the REC [ O ] key.
The REC [ O ] key lights up, and the MRS-8 switches
from playback to recording.
ZOOM MRS-8
6.
When you come to the intended punch-out
point, press the REC [ O ] key once more.
The REC [ O ] key goes out, and the MRS-8 switches
from recording to playback.
7.
To stop the recorder, press the STOP [ P ]
key.
8.
To check the newly recorded content,
locate to a point before the punch-in point,
and press the PLAY [ R ] key.

Auto punch-in/out

Auto punch-in/out is a function that lets you specify
beforehand the region to be re-recorded. This is
convenient when you cannot operate the MRS-8 because
you are playing the instrument yourself, or when very fast
playback/record switching is required.
In point
Track
Playback
Recording
In order to perform auto punch-in/out, you must first
specify the In point (the point where the recorder
switches from playback to record) and Out point (the
point where the recorder switches from record to
playback), and then perform the recording operation.
1.
Raise the fader of the track on which to
perform punch-in/out to a suitable position.
2.
Play your instrument connected to the
INPUT jack and adjust the input sensitivity
and recording level as required.
For information on how to adjust input sensitivity and
recording level, see page 15.
3.
Locate the point where punch-in should
occur, and press the [AUTO PUNCH I/O]
key.
The key flashes. This sets the "In point" at which
recording will begin.
4.
Locate the point where punch-out should
occur, and press the [AUTO PUNCH I/O]
key once more.
The key changes from flashing to solidly lit. This sets the
"Out point" at which recording will end.
While the key is lit, auto punch-in/out is active.
