RECORDING

When recording, you will see this screen:

As you are recording, so the RECORD TIME field ‘counts down’ as disk space is used up. In the

event of a mishap, you can abort the recording by pressing SHIFT and the red REC key

simultaneously. This will stop the recording process and delete it from disk, thereby saving disk

space and preventing the build up of unwanted recordings.

That really is all there is to do for simple recording - switch off ALL SAFE, select a track or tracks as

appropriate, press PLAY and RECORD together, press STOP or PLAY to stop recording.

UNDOING A RECORDING

If you don’t like the recording you just made, the simplest way to repair it is probably to record over

it just like tape. It will recorded over in the GRID but, because all recording and editing is usually

non-destructive, you can setup the connected machines so that the actual audio will still be on disk

so you can retrieve it at a later date if necessary.

NOTE: When you make a recording, the IN and OUT times are automatically marked at the

start and end of the new recording. Because the AUTO-PUNCH function uses these times to

punch in and out of recording automatically, if you wish to re-record over a recording you have

just made, to ensure punch-in and out are at exactly the same position, switch on the AUTO-

PUNCH function (see below - AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT).

Another way out of a recording disaster is to undo the last recording you made using the UNDO

key. In fact, you could undo several of the recordings you have just made using the multi-level

UNDO function. The number of ‘levels’ of UNDO available depends on the connected machine(s):

Machine Number of UNDO levels

DD8 (16-bit) 4

DD8 (24-bit) 20

DR16pro 4

DD1500 20

Of course, should you change your mind, you can REDO the recording using SHIFT+UNDO (REDO).

Not only can you use UNDO to repair mistakes you may have made but you could also use it to

compare recordings. For example, you might make a recording that you think is acceptable but it

could be improved upon so you re-record over it. After the second recording, you can use the

UNDO function to compare the two. Being a multi-level undo, you could do this several times,

making several recordings and then comparing them using UNDO and REDO, keeping the one

you like best.
