Punch In/Punch Out - Boss BR-1180 User Manual

Punch in/Punch out.

Not every performance is perfect all the way through every time. Fortunately you can
replace a section of a track by punching in over a portion of a "bad" take and punching
out before you would record over a section that you want to keep. On your BR-1180
there are three different methods for punching in and out.
Manually
1) Cue up your music to before your desired punch in point.
2) Press Play
3) Press REC at the punch in point
4) Press REC to disengage record at the Punch out point.
With a foot pedal.
To set up your BR-1180 for doing punch in and punch out using a foot pedal use the
following procedure:
1) Press UTILITY
2) CURSOR to System
3) CURSOR to Foot Switch
4) Turn the TIME/VALUE wheel to select PUNCH I/O
5) Press EXIT 2 Times.
With a momentary foot pedal such as a keyboard foot pedal or FS-5U plugged into the
FOOT SW jack you will be able to enable and disable REC using the Pedal instead of
pressing REC.
Auto Punch
Using Auto Punch you can preset your in and out points so that you can punch in and out
without using a pedal or manually pressing REC. This is extremely useful if you are the
engineer and the performer.
1) To set your IN point cue up the time that you want to punch in then press the IN
button so that it lights
2) Next cue up your punch out point then press the OUT button so that it lights.
3) Press ON/OFF.
4) Cue up your music before the IN point.
5) Press REC.
6) Press PLAY
The track that you are recording to will automatically engage when it reaches the IN
point and then disengage when it reaches OUT.
To clear out old IN and OUT times, press the IN and OUT buttons while holding
down DELETE. The Light will go out.
