point is reached, Pro Tools loops back to
the start time and continues playing and
recording.
✽ To cancel all recorded takes while loop re-
cording, press Command+period (Macintosh)
or Control+period (Windows).
7 When you have finished recording, click
Stop in the Transport window.
If you stop recording before you reach the
midpoint of the loop, Pro Tools discards
that take. If you record more than half of
the looped take, Pro Tools will leave the
take in the track when you stop recording.
The recorded takes appear as regions in the
Audio Regions List and are numbered se-
quentially. The most recently recorded take
is left in the record track. For details on au-
ditioning the various takes from the Takes
List pop-up, see “Auditioning from the
Takes List Pop-up Menu” on page 94.
Loop Playback and Audio Recording
When Loop Playback is enabled, Pro Tools
will not loop when attempting to record
audio tracks with QuickPunch, Destructive
Record, or Nondestructive Record mode.
To loop record audio tracks in Pro Tools,
you must enable Loop Record mode.
Auditioning Record Takes
After recording multiple takes with loop or
punch recording, you can replace the take
currently residing in the track with previ-
ous takes to audition them.
To place and audition previous takes:
1 In the Edit window, select the current
take with the Grabber.
2 Command-drag (Macintosh) or Control-
drag (Windows) the take from the Audio
Regions List (all takes are numbered se-
quentially).
The region replaces the previous take and
snaps precisely to the correct location.
3 Repeat the above steps as desired to audi-
tion other takes.
Auditioning from the Takes List
Pop-up Menu
Each region resulting from a punch or loop
record pass has an identical start time (the

List pop-up menu—even while the session
plays or loops.
To select a take from the Takes List pop-up:
1 Command-click (Macintosh) or Control-
click (Windows) with the Selector at the
precise beginning of the loop or punch
range.

If the take currently residing in the track is
selected, Command-click (Macintosh) or
Control-click (Windows) it with the Selec-
tor.
