Punch Recording

In Punch Recording mode, only the range between the punch starter marker and the punch end marker is recorded. Punch recording can be carried out for all recording types described. You activate this mode in the transport console. "Punch-in/Punch-out" is a recording process that can be started and ended while playback is running.

If you have not set punch markers before, they will be set automatically when recording if a range was selected before recording started. If no range is selected, you can also set the In marker during recording to define the recording start position and the Out marker for the recording end position.

If you set the option Prepare all tracks for Track Punch record in the Program Preferences > System Options > Recording, you can subsequently add audio tracks to a recording that were not yet armed when the recording was started, or remove individual audio tracks from the recording. To do this, click on the record button of the desired track.

If the recording is started when punch markers have been set, the recording button will flash until the In marker has been reached and again when the Out marker has been passed. It will light continuously during the actual recording between the markers.

If you end the punch recording by clicking the record button again, playback will not be interrupted. However, if you click the stop button, playback will also stop.
