When it comes to judging punch-in and punch-out points during punch recording, you
should turn on auto input monitoring (which it is, by default). This setting allows you to
hear the input signal only during the actual recording; before and afterward you’ll hear
the previously recorded audio on the track. If auto input monitoring is turned off, you can
always hear the input signal.
Turn on auto input monitoring
In Logic Pro, do one of the following when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the
Advanced preferences pane:
Choose Record > Auto Input Monitoring.
Control-click the Record button in the control bar, then choose Auto Input Monitoring
from the shortcut menu.
Record on the fly
1. In Logic Pro, turn on Quick Punch-In mode by doing one of the following:
Choose Record > Allow Quick Punch-In.
Control-click the Record button in the control bar, then choose Allow Quick
Punch-In from the shortcut menu.
2. Click the Play button in the control bar, then use the Record Toggle key command at
the point where you want to start recording.
Audio recording starts immediately.
3. Click the Stop button in the control bar, or use the Record Toggle key command a
second time to stop recording.
If you use the latter option, recording ends, but playback continues.
Note: You can also use the Record Toggle key command when not in Quick Punch-In
mode. However, this causes a delay when you switch between playback and record
modes, accompanied by a dropout of all audio tracks.
Record in Autopunch mode
1. In Logic Pro, turn on Autopunch mode by doing one of the following:
Click the Autopunch button in the control bar.
Note: You can add the Autopunch button by customizing the control bar. For
information, see Customize the control bar.
Option-Command-click anywhere in the ruler.
The autopunch area is indicated by a red stripe in the middle third of the ruler, with the
left and right autopunch locators serving as punch-in and punch-out points.
