Recording with a Footswitch

You can use a standard footswitch (for example, a synth sustain pedal) with QuickPunch to
“punch in” when recording audio. You can also punch in when recording MIDI, without
enabling QuickPunch. For details on Punch recording, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.

Pro Tools LE only detects the footswitch if you connect it to the Digi 001 I/O Box before
you launch Pro Tools LE.

To connect a footswitch to Digi 001:

Plug a footswitch into the Footswitch connector on the back of the Digi 001 I/O Box.

To punch in when recording audio with QuickPunch:

1

Enable QuickPunch (Operations > QuickPunch).

2

Set input routing and click the Record button on each audio track you want to punch in.

You can punch in on up to 8 audio tracks while playing 24 tracks, or you can punch in
on up to 16 tracks while playing 16 tracks.

3

Click Play in the Transport window. Press the footswitch to begin recording (punch in)
on all record-enabled tracks. Press the footswitch again to stop recording (punch out).

Note that the session continues to play, and you can continue to punch in and out as many
times as you want with the footswitch.

To punch in when recording MIDI:

1

Set your MIDI input routing and click the Record button on each MIDI track you want

to punch in. QuickPunch is not required to punch in on MIDI tracks.

2

Click Play in the Transport window. Press the footswitch to begin recording (punch in)
on all record-enabled tracks. Press the footswitch again to stop recording (punch out).
