Punching in and out

Punching in/out is a technique used to replace a part of
an already recorded track.
Start playback and when you reach the part that you want
to replace, switch to record (punch in), then switch back
to playback (or stop) when you finish replacing the part
that you want (punch out).
1. Decide what part of the track you plan to re-record.
Choose a point to begin where the new recording can
sit well with the existing recording.
2. Press the REC buttons of the tracks that you want
to partially re-record to put them into recording
standby (REC buttons start flashing).
3. Start playback before the part you want to replace.
4. When the part you want to replace is reached,
press the RECORD (0) button and start your
performance.
Recording starts (punch in).
5. When you finish the replacement recording, press
the PLAY (7) button.
Playback resumes (punch out).
TIP
You can also press the STOP (8) button to punch out at the
end of the replacement recording.

Using a footswitch to punch in/out

You can connect a TASCAM RC-3F footswitch (sold
separately) to the REMOTE jack on the front panel and
use it to punch in and out.
In step 4 above, step on the footswitch instead of
pressing the RECORD (0) button, and in step 5, step on
the footswitch again instead of pressing the PLAY (7)
button.
NOTE
Step on the switch (pedal) that you have set to
in the footswitch settings. By default, the center pedal
