When you finish storing and adjusting the edit points, you
can proceed to the Auto Punch In/Out operation.
In this example, we re-record part of the guitar phrase that
was already recorded on track 3. First follow the “Prepara-
tion” below, then rehearse, and record a take.
Preparation
Connecting the instrument
1. Connect the guitar to input jack 1.
Microphones and some instruments require an input level
adjustment.
Connect these to input jacks 3 and 4 (unbalanced jacks
on the front panel or balanced connectors on the rear
panel) that are equipped with the LEVEL switches.
Setting the mixer section

Rehearsing Auto Punch In/Out recording
In Rehearsal mode, the READY track assumes input moni-
toring mode between the Auto Punch In and Out points,
and the sound is not recorded. You can practice Auto Punch
In/Out operation repeatedly before you proceed to actual
recording.
Locate the recording start position slightly before the Auto
Punch In point.
Raise up to [7~8].
<Tips for rehearsal>
Set the preroll value while referring to the “Changing the Initial Set-
tings (SETUP Mode)” chapter. In this way, the FD-4 can locate a
point that precedes the Auto Punch In point by the specified preroll
value. This enables you to start playback slightly before the Punch
In point. (Refer to page 85 for more information on “Changing the
Initial Settings.”)
The FD-4 will repeat playback data between the AUTO RTN START
point and the AUTO RTN END point if you set the AUTO RTN START
point before the Auto Punch In point and the AUTO RTN END point
after the Auto Punch Out point. This allows you to repeat rehearsal.
See the “Hints” on page 45.
1. Press the RECORD button while holding down the SHIFT key.
The [RHSL] indicator flashes in the A.PUNCH mode
indication area of the display. This means that Auto Punch
mode is turned on.
4. Play the guitar accompanying the playback sound from tracks
1 and 2 for rehearsal, while adjusting the recording level.
You will hear the guitar performance between the Auto
Punch In and Out points. Otherwise, you will hear the
recorded guitar sound.
Use the channel 1 input fader to adjust the recording
level of the guitar. Turn the channel MON knobs toward
[TRK] to adjust the playback level of tracks 1–3.
