Punch-in/out
This chapter explains how to use punch-in/out.
About punch-in/out
Punch-in/out is a method for re-recording a portion of a previously recorded
track. There are two types of punch-in/out.
❒ Manual punch-in/out (→ P.128)
In this method you can punch in or out manually, using the transport keys of the
AW4416 or a separately sold foot switch (Yamaha FC-5). If a foot switch is used,
the entire procedure of playback → punch-in → punch-out → stop can be per-
formed using your foot, which is convenient when you are playing an instrument
while operating the AW4416.
❒ Auto punch-in/out (→ P.130)
In this method, punch-in/out will occur automatically at the points that you spec-
ify ahead of time (the auto punch-in/out points). This method allows the location
to be specified with sub-frame or millisecond accuracy, and lets you punch-in/
out repeatedly. You can also practice (rehearse) the auto punch-in/out.
