Punch Recording can be done in two ways:
1. Punch-In/Out “On-The-Fly”
This allows you to start the recording (punch in) at any
time during the playback. Once the recording commences,
it can be stopped at any time (punch out), while the play-
back continues.
This is very similar to tape based multi-track recorders,
which allow you to correct mistakes during previous
recording takes by overwriting segments of the tape.
Simply start the playback with the Spacebar. The Punch-In
recording can be started by clicking on the Punch Record
button in the toolbar. The same button punches out of the
recording mode, while the playback continues. To stop the
playback, press the Spacebar.
2. Punch-In/Out with Markers
The second method is the punching in and out of recording
using special markers. This is a more automated way of
dealing with punch-in/out recording. This is useful when
specific punch-in and punch-out points are determined and
you don’t want to take any risks in possible punching in or
out of the recording. Don’t panic though! The punching in
and out with markers lets you specify the exact points the
recording is to start and stop. Since you are working in a
non-linear, non-destructive environment, any mistake or
unwanted take can be removed or undone without any
problems. The previous material in the track would still be
there!
This is simply a very convenient way when it’s midnight
and your fingers are getting tired!
To operate in this mode, a range has to be selected, which
defines the beginning and end of the recording. The
functions Set Punch-In Marker and Set Punch-Out
Marker are used to tell MAGIX audio studio where to
punch in and where to punch out. Next, set the play cursor
to an appropriate position prior to the punch-in point and
start the playback/recording with the Punch Record
button in the Punch Toolbar.
Important: When working with the punch in/out
functionality, make sure that the Auto Crossfade mode is
activated, by clicking on the corresponding button in the
MAGIX audio studio toolbar. The auto crossfade will create
smooth transitions between the takes. This helps to prevent
little pops and clicks!
There is also a way to perform looped punch-in reco-
rding! Simply select a range over the desired punch region.
