Tascam 424MKIII Recording Equipment User Manual

When the tape reaches the preset punch-out point, you will be
able to hear the old material existing on track 2, letting you check
that the new material is smoothly followed by the old one. The
RECORD LED will turn off, indicating that the "dry-run" record is
over.
After 3 seconds of play ("postroll") the tape will automatically
rewind, stopping at the START point, so you can again go
through the rehearsal procedure.
To change the punch-in and out points, press CLEAR, and
restart from the beginning.
If you want to quit Rehearsal mode for any reason, press
CLEAR. "RHSL" goes out and the start, punch-in and out points
are cleared from memory.
- Practice the performance until you are sure that you will get it
right when actually recording. Remember, punching-in over
existing material erases the original signal.
- When the REHEARSAL key is pressed during playback, the
counter readout at which the key is pressed is stored as the
START point.
- You can store the Punch-In/Out or Rehearsal point also using the
optional remote footswitch (RC-30P).
Suggestion: During the punch-in setting or the rehearsal process,
if you press the footswitch after STOP, the tape will rewind to
your START point.
- Rehearsal function is not available while the 424 MKIII is in the
locate, repeat or record mode.
- Locate or repeat function is not available while storing Punch-
In/Out points in memory.
- After the Punch-In/Out points have been stored in memory, the
424 MKIII cannot enter the record mode (whereby RECORD LED
blinks or glows).
- If you press any of the transport keys during storage of the
Rehearsal (Punch-In/Out) points, the 424 MKIII will start operation
corresponding to the key pressed. However, only when the REW
key is pressed, the tape will rewind, stopping at that Start point.
Once you're sure your performance and the in/out points selected are
correct, you're ready to actually record the insert using the Auto
Punch-In/Out feature.
Before proceeding to the next step, #8, check to see that the RHSL
indicator is on solid in the display, showing that your punch-in and
out points are in memory, and that all REC indicators beneath the
meters are off (except the one for the punch-in track), showing that all
non-punch-in tracks are in Safe mode.
