Audio Punch-in Tool Scenarios
You can punch-in audio in several ways:
• Scenario 1 — Set only an Out point. The position indicator is used as the In point. Set a
preroll time. Click the Play In/Out button to loop continuously through the sequence. Click
the Record button when you find what you want to punch-in, and then click the Record
button again to end recording.
• Scenario 2 — Set an In point and an Out point around the material you want to record. Set a
preroll time. Click the Record button to start the preroll. When the system arrives at the Out
point, recording ends. The last region including the Out point is recorded. Repeat recording
over the same region until you are satisfied with the results.
• Scenario 3 — With no In point or Out point set, click the Record button continuously
throughout your sequence. Click the Record button to start recording, and then click the
Record button again to end recording. Continue this process to record multiple punch-ins.
