Configuring Pro Tools for
DestructivePunch Recording
Before using DestructivePunch, configure De-
structivePunch preferences and related
Pro Tools settings as described in this section.
Transport and Track Record Settings
The Transport RecordLock and Audio Record-
Lock preferences specify track and Transport
Record Enable behavior when playback or re-
cording are stopped. These preferences are
found on the Operations preferences page.
Transport RecordLock
This setting lets you configure Transport Record
arming in the following ways:
◆ When Transport RecordLock is enabled, the
Transport Record remains armed after playback
or recording stops. This saves having to re-arm
the Transport between takes, emulating trans-
port behavior of a digital dubber.
◆ When Transport RecordLock is not enabled,
the Transport Record disarms when Pro Tools is
manually stopped or stops due to a loss of time
code.
Punching out of record by pressing Record
on the Transport will take the transport out
of record enable.
