Loop recording
When using punch-in/out recording, you can turn the Loop
Play button on so that recording will occur repeatedly over
the IN–OUT region. When you are finished recording, you
can use the Undo/Redo functions to compare different takes,
and keep the best one.

Refer to “Auto punch-in/out” (p.66) steps (1)–(5).
(2) Press the Loop Play button to turn it on (highlighted).
The Loop indicator will light.
(3) Begin recording.

ahead of the specified IN (recording start) location as
set by the pre-roll time, and the D32XD/D16XD will
be in record-ready condition (REC key blinking).

(PLAY key will light).
Playback will continue for the pre-roll time, and

and playback will continue for the post-roll time. (The
REC key will go dark.)
Then you will move to the pre-roll time, and the same
process will be repeated.
•To stop, press the STOP key at a point outside the
recording region (IN–OUT).
(4) Use the Undo/Redo function to compare the takes, and
select the best one.
•Press the UNDO key to display the “Undo/Redo” tab
page.
The “Undo/Redo” tab page displays the most recent
recording (Level 00) and the previous recordings
(Level “loop-recorded takes minus 1”) together with
the Rec Track (track number).
Loop recordings appear in the list as “Record Track,” just as
conventional recordings.
In the “Undo/Redo” tab page, use the Undo button
and Redo button to select a recorded take. The
selected performance will be recalled.
(5) Listen to the recorded performance.
•Press the PLAY button to play back, and listen to the
recording. If “LoopPlay” is on, the region between the
IN (beginning of recording) and OUT (end of record-
ing) points will continuously play back.
Repeat this process to select the best performance.
The data in the list lets you go back through the most recent
sixteen levels.
1-6. Creating a master track
After applying effects and EQ to each track to create the over-
all balance of your song, you can then apply effects and EQ
to the entire song to make the volume and tone consistent,
and record the resulting two-track stereo mix onto the “mas-
ter track.”
The master track data you create here can also be copied to a
channel track (p.75).
After recording or track editing, you can use the Undo function to
return to the state prior to recording or editing (p.147).
If you recorded on a different virtual track, check the virtual track
that is selected after executing Undo.

sound will be recorded onto the master track at these
levels.
If the sound of the master track is clipping (distorting), lower
the master fader.

If you are creating an album CD project, the beginning of the
master track will be the beginning of the CD track.
