Locating the desired bar
During recording process, it often happens that you want to locate the desired bar
accurately. For example, let's assume that a vocalist and an operator are working
together and they want to make punch-in recording from the beginning of the first
bridge. In the typical process, the operator locates the position a few seconds before
the first bridge using the [REWIND] or [F FWD] key, and then starts playback from the
position and punches in at the beginning of the first bridge. In this manner, the vocal-
ist does not know from where playback starts until it starts. Or he (she) may get lost
and miss the punch-in point. If you use the direct locate function, this problem is
solved.
In the following procedure, it is assumed that the time base mode is set to "Bar/Beat".
1) Press the [DIRECT LOCATE] key to enter the direct locate mode.
2) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to set the locate point to the four bars before the first
bridge.
You need to make a note of the bar number of each part.
3) Tell the vocalist that the playback starts from four bars before the bridge.
If necessary, you can make rehearsal (see page 58 for rehearsal).
4) Press the [STOP] key to exit the direct locate mode and start recording.
Example of using the direct locate function
<Note>:
By setting the locate accuracy to a smaller unit ("bar" or "clock"), you can locate the
point more accurately.
