punching on a tascam 38

[Nathan drummer]

Does anyone out there know if there is a punch mod for a tascam 38. Punching in with the transport buttons is fine but to punch out you have to either stop the tape or disable the function select. I know I could use a foot switch but I like using the buttons and I'm not sure about the gaps.

...

a) Use a foot pedal.

b) Try just pressing the "Play" button by itself at the end of a punch,... should cause it to drop out of Record mode.

c) There is nothing you can do about the punch-out gap. It's inherent in the design. The best you can do is to time punch-outs between phrases to mask the effect. In many cases a "tight" track or style of playing won't lend itself to punch-outs, so you must play the entire rest of the track from the punch-in point forward to the end.
