Auto punch-in/out
Auto punch-in/out is when punch-in and punch-out
occur automatically at pre-specified times.
1 Access the [AUTO PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab page.
2 Register IN (punch-in) as the time at which
recording will begin, and OUT (punch-out) as the
time at which recording will end.
For details on registering the IN and OUT times,
refer to p.35.
In the [AUTO PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab page, you
can press the “Wave” button to register the IN and
OUT points while viewing a waveform display.
The time locations you register will be overwritten
onto the [IN/LOC1] key and [OUT/LOC2] key.
3 Connect the input device, and adjust the record-
ing level.
Refer to “1. Analog inputs” and “1. Adjust the
recording level, and record” (p.23, 27).
4 Make monitor output settings.
Refer to “Manual punch-in/out” step 2. (p.28)
5 Specify the “pre-roll” – the length of playback
that will occur before the recording start location.
In the [AUTO PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab page, press
the “RolTime” button to access the “SetRollTime”
dialog box. (p.98)
Set “Pr
eRoll” to the desired length of playback
before the beginning of recording. Set “Pos-
tRoll” to the desired length of playback after the
end of recording. Set “Unit
” to the desired unit
of pre/post-roll time.
When you have finished making settings, press
the “OK” button to return to the previous page.
6 Turn on the auto punch-in/out function.
In the [AUTO PUNCH] “AtPunch” tab page, press
the “AutoPunch” button to turn it “On.” The
[AUTO PUNCH] key will light.
7 Begin recording.
When you press the [REC] key, the location will
move back from the specified record start time
by the length of the pre-roll time specified by
“Pr
eRoll,” and the D1600 will enter record-
ready mode (LED blinking).
When you press the [PLAY] key, playback will
begin. The track will play back during the pre-
roll time, and will switch to recording at the
specified point (IN). (The [REC] LED will light.)
When the specified end of recording is reached,
recording will end. (The [REC] LED will blink.)
8 Press the [STOP] key to stop.
After the post-roll time has elapsed, the D1600 will
stop and return to the beginning of the pre-roll
time.
9 Listen to the performance that you recorded.
5. Combining multiple tracks into
two: Bounce
You can combine the performances of multiple tracks
into two tracks, thus freeing up the original tracks for
additional recording. This procedure is called bounc-
ing. You can use this when you wish to play back the
performances of more than 16 tracks simultaneously.
You can use bounce recording to do the following
things.
Combine 16 tracks of audio, and overwrite-record
them onto two tracks.
Combine 16 tracks of audio, and record them onto
two unused virtual tracks.
Record 14 tracks of audio and two external input sig-
nals onto the remaining two tracks.
Combine multiple external input sources, and record
them on two tracks.
When you use a CD-R/RW drive to create an audio
CD, the data of tracks 1 and 2 will be written to the
CD, so you must combine your completed song
into tracks 1 and 2.
You can also mix down your completed song to
two tracks of the D1600, instead of mixing down to
an external two-channel recorder.
Combining 16 tracks of audio and over-
writing them onto 2 tracks
As an example, here’s how to combine the audio of
tracks 1–16, and overwrite-record the result onto tracks
1 and 2.
1 Select bounce recording as the recording mode.
Access the [RECORD] “RecMode” tab page.
Select “Bounce” (bounce recording).
2 Select the bounce mode.
Access the [RECORD] “Bounce” tab page.
Set “BounceMode” to “16Tr2Tr.”
3 Choose the currently selected tracks for record-
ing.
Set “RecordVirtualTrack” to “Current.”
4 Select the tracks that you wish to record.
Set the status of the tracks to be recorded (tracks 1
and 2) to REC (LED lit red). Set the remaining
tracks (3–16) to PLAY (LED lit green).
5 Adjust the stereo positions of the playback tracks.
Press the [PLAY] key, and rotate the [PAN] knob to
adjust the stereo positions of channels 1–16.
6 Adjust the playback/recording levels.
Use the [CHANNEL] faders to adjust the playback
level.
Press the [METER/TRACK VIEW] key.
Press the “ ” button to access the dialog box.
Select “PostFaderLev” so that you can view the
meter display for each fader.
