Punch Recording
• Set the start and end times of the punch.
• Choose Sound on Sound mode or Overwrite mode.
• Start recording by pressing r or clicking the button on the Transport
toolbar.
The Record toolbar shows the punch settings, as shown here:
A. Punch In Time B. Punch Out Time C. Click here to set punch times to the
selection start and end times D. Auto-punch on/off E.Record mode F. Step record
G. Click to open the Record Options dialog box
When punch recording is enabled, the punch times are indicated by special
markers in the Time Ruler, which is at the top of the Clips pane:
A. Punch In B. Punch Out
After you punch record, choosing Edit-Undo both discards any new
material you recorded and restores the original material that had been
deleted.
You can also combine loop and punch recording to record several takes of
a punch. Say you are working on that perfect take of a guitar solo and you
need to hear a couple of bars of the project as “pre-roll” before you punch
in. By combining looping with punch, you can have each take begin before
you start to play and still have the solo cut in at the appropriate instant.
In the example mentioned previously, you could loop from bar 17 to bar 26
but record only bars 24 and 25. Here’s what this looks like:
