Locating to the points
Simply press the 
IN
OUT
TO
 or 
FROM
 key to locate to the 
appropriate point.
IN, OUT, TO and FROM points
The IN, OUT, TO and FROM points are special marks 
used for various 2488neo functions. Repeat playback and 
auto punch use the IN/OUT points, and track editing uses 
all four points (see “Repeat” / “Auto punch operations” on 
page 55 a
nd “About track editing” on page 58).
Setting the IN, OUT, TO and FROM points
To set these points:
1  Locate to the position where the IN, OUT, TO or 
FROM point is to be set.
2  Press and hold the 
LOCATE
 key, and then press the 
key you want to set (IN, OUT, TO or FROM).
 
Set IN!
Set OUT!
Set TO!
 or 
Set FROM!
 
appears on the home screen.
NOTE
You cannot set these points while the repeat mode or 
auto punch mode is active.
Sometimes, even with the undo facilities and the virtual 
tracks of the 2488neo, it may be useful for you to rehearse 
a take without actually committing anything to disk. This 
is probably most useful in auto punch operations (see “Auto 
punch operations” on page 55) b
ut can be useful in other 
situations as well.
In a rehearsal, the monitoring and other operations and 
recording functions are the same as when recording, but 
the input signal, although passed through to a track, does 
not actually go to the disk.
To use the rehearsal mode, simply press the 
RHSL
 key so 
that the indicator is lit.
When actually “recording” in rehearsal mode, the 
RECORD
 indicator flashes, rather than lighting steadily, to 
show that the rehearsal is taking place.
Rehearsing recording
You can “undo” recordings, (unlike on a tape recorder). 
Even if you accidentally record over important audio data, 
you can recover the original data by using the undo func-
tion. See “UNDO and REDO” on page 64 for details.
Undo recordings
You can also use a suitable foot switch (for example the 
TASCAM RC-30P) connected to the 
PUNCH
 jack on the 
front, to drop into record mode. When a track is armed, 
and playback is taking place, pressing the foot switch will 
change from playback mode to record mode.
When recording, pressing the foot switch will drop out of 
record mode into playback mode.
