QuickPunch with an Edit Selection
If you make an Edit selection and use Quick-
Punch, the following rules apply:
‹ If the Transport is not online, recording be-
gins and stops whenever you click the Record
button in the Transport—regardless of the selec-
tion’s start or end point.
‹ If the Transport is online, punch-in/out be-
havior is controlled by the Online Options set-
ting on the Operation Preferences page.
• If you select Record Online at Insertion/Se-
lection , QuickPunch punches in and out
only within the selection (or in the case of
an insertion point, only after the insertion
point).
• If you select Record Online at Time Code
Lock , QuickPunch disregards the selection
and punches in and out whenever you
want (after Pro Tools has locked to time
code).
TrackPunch Audio Recording
(Pro Tools HD Only)
TrackPunch mode lets you punch tracks in and
out individually (one at a time) or punch multi-
ple tracks in and out simultaneously. Track-
Punch is a nondestructive punch mode which
leaves previous material on disk. (To destruc-
tively replace audio on disk, see “Destructive-
Punch Audio Recording” on page 416).
TrackPunch Setup
Before using TrackPunch in a record pass you
must configure Pro Tools, session, and track set-
tings as explained in the following sections.
Configure Pro Tools
To configure Pro Tools:
1 Configure tracks, voicing, and other Track-
Punch settings as needed (see “System, Session,
and Track Guidelines for Punch Recording” on
page 406).
2 Make sure Pro Tools is not recording or play-
ing back (the Transport is stopped).
For information about online playback with
Pro Tools LE, see the Setup Guide that came
with your system or with a Toolkit option (if
you purchase one). For information about
synchronization with TrackPunch and De-
structivePunch recording, see “Synchroniza-
tion and Track Arming Options for Punch
Recording” on page 410.
