Chapter 4 Recording Operations
Loop Recording
You can play back a specific section of a song over and over
again, and use the Auto Punch In feature to record many
quick takes. This is called “loop recording.” This can be
convenient when you want to rehearse a section of the song,
or record a number of takes of a solo, and compare the
different takes.
fig.03-16
Before you begin recording, specify the begin and end times
for the loop. There are three ways to specify the loop times.
Use the method appropriate to your situation.
* To specify the punch-in and punch-out points, refer to the
previous section “Auto Punch-In and Auto Punch-Out.”
Using Locators

1. Find the position in the song where you want to start the
loop. Place a locator at that point. Find the position in the
song where you want to end the loop. Place another
locator there.
2. While holding down [LOOP], press the locator
corresponding to the start point.
3. While continuing to hold [LOOP], press the locator
corresponding to the end point.
Using Markers
