4) Post-roll is set in the same way. Use the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
keys until the cursor is by the
field, and repeat the steps above.
The minimum value for post-roll is 3 seconds.
6.6.5 Rehearsing the punch-in
After you have set the punch points, and you have
located the tape to the pre-roll point, as described
above, you can rehearse the punch process.
1) Press the
RHSL
key [9] so that the indicator
lights steadily.
This indicates that you are now in rehearsal mode.
2) Press
PLAY
. The tape will start playing from the
pre-roll point.
3) At the punch-in point, monitoring will change
to source.
The
RECORD
key will flash, and the
REC FUNC-
TION
indicator of any armed tracks will light
steadily. However, recording will not be carried
out.
4) At the punch-out point, monitoring will change
back to off-tape monitoring.
The tape will continue playing to the post-roll
point and then rewind to the pre-roll point.
5) Repeat the rehearsal process until you are
satisfied with the performance.
6.6.6 Interrupting a rehearsal or punch
recording
Very often while rehearsing a punch-in, you will
not want to run the tape all the way to the punch-
out point (an entry cue is missed, or a mistake is
made early on in the take). In these cases, the fol-
lowing procedure applies to both rehearsal and
punch recording:
1) While the tape is running, press the
LOC 1
key
[22].
There is no need to press
STOP
first.
The tape will return to the punch-in point, minus
the value specified in the punch-in offset (6.6.4,
“Editing the pre-roll and post-roll times”).
2) Pressing
PLAY
will then re-start the rehearsal
or punch-in process.
6.6.7 Recording the punch-in
1) Make sure the tape is at the pre-roll point, and
press the
AUTO
PUNCH
key [10] once.
The indicator will flash, showing that the DA-98 is
in auto-punch mode.
2) Press
PLAY
. The tape will start playing.
At the punch-in point, the
RECORD
indicator will
light steadily, as will the
REC FUNCTION
indica-
tors of any armed tracks. Monitoring will change
from off-tape to source and the
INPUT MONITOR
of any armed tracks will light.
Recording will now actually take place. Any
recorded material which was previously on the
armed tracks between the punch points will be
replaced by the new recording.
NOTE
If the
AUTO PLAY
mode is active (press the
AUTO
PLAY
key [12] so that the indicator lights), playback
will start again as soon as the pre-roll point is reached.
NOTE
The pre-roll location time (see 8.1.3, “Setting the loca-
tion pre-roll time”) is not used here.
NOTES
• Pressing the
LOC 2
key will locate the tape to the
punch-out position minus the punch-in pre-roll time.
• These functions are only operative when the
RHSL
or
AUTO PUNCH
indicators are lit or flashing. When
they are off, the
LOC 1
and
LOC 2
keys
will act nor-
mally.
• If the
SHIFT
key has been pressed, and the
SHIFT
indicator is flashing, the
LOC 1
and
LOC 2
keys will
act as function keys (see 5.2.1, “The SHIFT key and
function keys”).
