7–Recorder Functions

TASCAM DP-004

Punching in and out

Punching in/out is a technique 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

the part that you want to replace (punch out).

1 Decide what part of the track you plan to replace

and choose a point to begin where the new

recording can sit well with the existing recording.

2 Press the

REC

key of the track that you plan to

replace part of to start record standby (

REC

indicator blinks).

3 Start playback before the part of the track that you

want to replace.

4 Press the record (–) key to start recording (punch

in) when you reach the part. Play or sing what you

want to record.

5 Press the playback (Á) key to switch to playback

(punch out) when you finish the replacement

recording.

TIP

You can also press the stop (ª) key to punch out at the

end of the replacement recording.

Bouncing tracks

Use this unit’s bounce function to mix already

recorded tracks (1–4) down to one or two tracks.
Multitrack tape recorders can only bounce to an

open track (in other words, they can not record to a

track that is also a source of the mix). For example,

tracks 1–3 could be bounced to track 4, but tracks

1–4 could not be bounced to track 1. This unit,

however, does not have this limitation. You can

bounce tracks 1–4 as a stereo mix to tracks 1 and 2

(stereo bounce), or bounce tracks 1–4 as a mono mix

to track 1 (mono bounce).

NOTE

Inside this unit, a mixdown is made to create a mix

master that is recorded to the designated tracks.
