Mike you use what works for you best...that is a motto we should all adopt. Just as you may struggle to work a mouse and a PC to control your set up......I struggle to use a foot pedal to control things.....heck I use stage lights, a backing track controller and my mic control FX for live cabaret that all work of foot pedals... I often muck it up by pressing the wrong switch or forgetting to press the switch......LOL

I punch in and out after listening to what's been recorded (never knew about the pedal). If I want to do something over, or over dub, I set the punch in to the measure that I want to correct or play over, then count the measures that will be a good dropping off point, then rewind to a good restarting point before the punch in starts before I record.

It seems to me that the pedal would be at an advantage because you don't have to move an acoustic instrument from the original position to the mic. The digital punch in can have sound fluctuations if you're not good at it.

Yes Jim that is the best motto everyone should do what;s best for them Financially, Time Wise and Productivity.... and situation wise overall.
However what I'm saying is not about opinion or a debate, but a simple fact. Like a gunslinger Me and my pedal are the fastest
period...

It's one pedal,and any guitar player or piano player or drummer should have no problem stepping on one to come in on a beat.

Hi Ben yes yes,,,,
And who knows what part of a lead solo needs to be fixed and where to come in BETTER than you? Nobody is the answer
Especially when your alone! lol

So whether you have it in your set up or your comfortable or not comfortable is another thing... It's not hard to get a handle on though. I got it from recording analog many many years ago.

I fly, over here and not just from the vertigo

I do that too alot Ben, but sometimes I'm recording a song while I'm learning it... So there is a lot of punching and fixing... So instead of setting up anything, I just rewind and hit play at TOTAL random. It takes a second or two to realize where I am at. Both hands are now on the guitar and the foot takes me in and out, then I keep rolling. I remember where the next fix needs to come in around. You get this knack from recording every day.

And yes like I said, no moving of an acoustic instrument in front of mic. No screen to look at either...
I set the in & out auto punching alot too especially for drums where your feet are occupied.

The pedal works great for singing fast as well.
Do you want MOVE away from your vocal microphone everytime to set us a an IN & OUT auto punch...
The remote is massively helpful with that as well.

Guitar player / Pedal very familiar combination yes?

No comment.
