Record mode / Punch in
Play while recording
This option corresponds to the option in the recording options with the same name.
Record without playback
Use this option to record without playing the VIP.
Punch in mode active
This option activates the punch mode. Punch in and punch out are processes for
automating the recording start and end of an audio segment. Once punch mode is
active, the punch in record feature can be used to record audio segments without
stopping playback.
The requirement for this mode is an armed record track. Use the “Rec” button on each
track to select it for punch recording!
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 playback 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 space bar. Punch-in recording can be started by
clicking "Punch record" in the toolbar.
2. Punch in/ out with markers: The second method is to punch 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. "Punch in and out with markers" lets you specify the exact points where
the recording should start and stop. To operate in this mode, a range has to be
selected which defines the beginning and end of the recording. The "Set punch-in
marker" and "Set punch-out marker" functions are used to tell Samplitude Music
Studio 2013 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 playback/recording with the
"Punch record" button in the "Punch" toolbar.
Important: When working with the punch in/out functionality, make sure that "Auto
crossfade" mode is activated by clicking on the corresponding button in the toolbar.
The auto crossfade will create smooth transitions between the takes. This helps to
prevent little pops and clicks!
