Because the positioning otherwise depends on how the wheel turns, not where the tape is.
I don't need microsecond accuracy.
I think an autopunch SHOLD be able to use both SMPTE and normal tape counters, but that doesn't mean that they actually CAN.
I get that a stripe will give absolute time right on the tape with no shift but why wouldn't it be possible without the stripe? I don't need microsecond accuracy. Am I missing something?
Yes...I know how to punch in and out, thanks anyway.Paulie said:Hi Jake, I have a Tascam 8516B which is basically an older version of your deck. Set the channel you want to record and put the machine into sync mode then while it is running in play push the record and play buttons together and it will punch beautifully as mine does . When you hit the two buttons again it will punch out.
