Chapter 19: Audio Recording 379
If recording nondestructively, a new audio file is
written to your hard drive and a new audio re-
gion appears both in the track and the Region
List.
If recording in Destructive Record mode, the
new audio overwrites the previous material in
the existing audio file and region.
Monitoring During Punch-Ins
Pro Tools provides two monitoring modes for
recording: Auto Input monitoring and Input
Only monitoring.
Recording Additional Takes
After recording to an audio track, you can record
additional takes to the same track. Any of these
additional takes can be used in the main playl-
ist. For information about accessing alternate
takes, see “Alternate Takes” on page 382.
Recording additional takes in Destructive
Record mode overwrites previous take. To keep
the audio from previous takes, record the new
takes in Normal (Nondestructive) Record mode.
To nondestructively record a new take on the
same track:
1 Ensure that Normal Record mode is selected
(see “Record Modes” on page 353).

sion, click Return to Zero in the Transport.

enabled, click anywhere in the track’s play-
list to begin recording from that point.

for recording.
5 Click Play to start recording.
6 Click Stop to stop recording.
An audio file for the new take is written to disk
and appears as an audio region both in the
track’s playlist and in the Region List.
The audio from the original take remains on
your hard drive, and is still available as a region
in the Region List.
To destructively record over a previous take:
1 Do one of the following:
• Select Options > Destructive Record. When
in Destructive Record mode.

port and select Destructive.
