Hi
I have had my dp-24 for a few days now and I wonder about the following.

I do a lot of punch-in recording, for instance auto-punch to replace an acoustic guitar part. The problem is that the punch-in point is so hard that I can hear when the new guitar kicks in. In Cubase I used to cover that point with a 0,5 second or so crossfade. Is it possible to do this on the dp-24 too? Making the punch-in-point fade instead of a hard cut.
 
Not that I know of ... I usually bring the files into Reaper for editing, anyway
 
I do the same thing RustyAxe does. I like the ease of recording onto the DP-24. Being an old timer I still like the tactile controls and such and some of the basic EQ'ing. But once the track is in the DP-24 you can do so much more with it in any DAW. And since importing and exporting waves is so easy on the Tascam.........why not?

maybe you could minimise the impact by picking better points to drop-in.

try to do it during a rest (where you are not playing) but if you *absolutely must* drop-in during a played passage, perhaps try to align it with a snare drum beat or similar to help mask the edit point
 
Thank you for your replies.
As you suggested I will bring the files into Cubase for editing. It wont help me with overdubdubs done on the same virtual track, but if there are tricky parts I can of course use another virtual track to make the tracks blend.

Its just that I have gotten tired recording an endless amount of takes to have lot of options in the editing-phase. I am now trying to choose which takes are good or bad in the recording phase, its much more fun to record then.

Anyway, what has helped me find the right insertpoint is actually the waveform-display. Thats a really nice feature.
 
You can do a crossfade with the DP-24 after a track is recorded by using the noise suppressor and bouncing to another track.

After recording your track, go to the effect menu and select guitar and then noise suppressor. Turn it on and select your track you just recorded. Then turn the threshold and suppression all the way up. You adjust the fade in with the attack setting. If you put the start of you track in a loop, you can fine tune the attack, just remember to reset your punch out mark when your done.
At this point, you can add compression or other guitar effect if you want.

When you get it the way you want it, bounce it over to another track.
 
Just remembered. After setting the attack, you will want to turn up the release. The release should be turned down while setting the attack, then turned up before bouncing the track.
