Recording Undo - Akai DR16 pro Operator's Manual

Recording Undo

If you record new material over some existing material, and then decide that you preferred the
original, you can use the undo function to restore the original. In fact, you can switch between the
original and the new during playback for comparison. This is possible because the DR16pro al-
ways records new material on a different area of the hard disk, except in Destructive Recording
Mode. (See "Setting the Recording Mode" on page 45.)
Operation
After each recording, the DR16pro will play the new material.
1) To undo a recording, press the UNDO key.
The indicator in the key will light up. While this indicator is lit, the DR16pro will play the mate-
rial as it was before the recording.
2) To switch back to the newly recorded material, press the UNDO key again.
Before starting another recording, you must decide which material you want to keep: the
original or the new. Once a new recording is performed, the undo function will apply to that
new recording.
Once you have decided, leave the undo function set as required.
The following diagram shows how the recording undo function works:
