Loop recording
When using auto-punch recording, you can use Loop re-
cording to record repeated takes over the same section,
and then use undo/redo to choose the best take.
If you turn “Loop” “On” during auto-punch recording,
the INOUT region will be recorded repeatedly (looped).
At this time, playback will occur before and after the IN
OUT region for the lengths specified by the [AUTO
PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab page settings for “RolTime”
(“Pr
eRoll” and “PostRoll”).
1. Register the region (IN–OUT) that you wish to
record. (p.46)
This setting can also be made using “Wave” in the
[LOOP] “Loop” or [AUTO PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab
pages.
2. Connect the input device, and adjust the recording
level.
Refer to “1. Analog inputs” and “1. Adjust the record-
ing level, and record” (p.36, 39).
3. Specify how the sound will be output for monitor-
ing.
Refer to “Manual punch-in/out” step 2. (p.40)
4. Set the pre-roll and post-roll.
In the [AUTO PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab page, select
RolTime.”
Set “Pr
eRoll” to specify the length of playback prior
to the beginning of recording, and set “PostRoll
” to
specify the length of playback after the end of record-
ing. Set “Unit
” to select the units in which the pre/
post-roll times are set.
When you have made these settings, press the “OK”
button.

“Auto Punch” “On.” (The [AUTO PUNCH] key will

When you press the [REC] key, the D1600mkII will
locate to the beginning of the pre-roll time preceding
the IN (recording start) point, and will enter record-
ready mode. (The [REC] key LED will blink.)
Press the [PLAY] key to begin playback.
Playback will occur for the pre-roll time, and record-
ing will begin at the IN time. (The [REC] key LED

When the OUT time is reached, recording will end,
and playback will continue for the post-roll time.
(The [REC] key LED will blink.)
Then the D1600mkII will locate to the beginning of
the pre-roll time, and the same operations will be
repeated.
To stop, press the [STOP] key at a point outside of the
recording area (IN–OUT).

unch” setting is “On” when you press the [PLAY]
key, the region between the recording start (IN) and
recording end (OUT) points will play back as a loop.
