4. As you record, monitor the previously recorded audio tracks along with your current
recording from the meters in the Audio tool and from the sound on the speakers.
Audio Punch-In Support for Open I/O Devices
If your Open I/O device allows you to record and play simultaneously, you can perform an Audio
Punch-In. Check with your 3rd party vendor to see if they support simultaneous record and play.
By clicking on the Punch-In monitoring button in the Audio Punch In tool, you can choose the
following monitoring options:
• On - allows for IN to OUT audio monitoring during audio punch-in.
• Off - turns off IN to OUT audio monitoring during audio punch-in. When monitoring is off,
the icon in the Punch-In tool changes to indicate punch in monitoring is off. For example,
this mode is useful when you want to use another device such as the Mbox to provide local
passthrough.
• Automatic - Allows the editing application to detect if monitoring should be On or Off due
to detected latency. Monitoring is not disabled if latency <100ms. If the editing application
detects latency >100ms, monitoring is turned off. Note: You can choose to override this by
setting the monitoring to On.
In some hardware configurations, audio monitoring during Punch-In will not be allowed at all
because the hardware does not support it. In this case, the Punch-In tool indicates the monitoring
is Off and you cannot override it.
Using Peak Hold While Recording Voice-Over Narration
Peak Hold lets you customize the meter displays, and sets and plays back the internal calibration
tone. You can use Peak Hold while recording a punch-in as follows:
• Use the Peak Hold menu in the Audio tool to change between Peak Hold and Infinite Hold.
• Use the Reset Peak button in the Audio tool.
