Punch in mode active
This option activates the punch mode. Punch in and punch out are processes
for automating the recording start and end of an audio segment. Once punch
mode is active, the punch in record feature can be used to record audio
segments without stopping playback.
The requirement for this mode is an armed record track. Use the “Rec” button
on each track to select it for punch recording!
Punch recording can be done in two ways:
1. Punch in/ out “On-the-fly”: This allows you to start the recording (punch in)
at any time during the playback. Once the recording commences, it can be
stopped at any time (punch-out), while the playback continues.
This is very similar to tape based multi-track recorders, which allow you to
correct mistakes during previous recording takes by overwriting segments of
the tape.
Simply start the playback with the space bar. Punch-in recording can be
started by clicking "Punch record" in the toolbar.
2. Punch in/ out with markers: The second method is to punch in and out of
recording using special markers. This is a more automated way of dealing with
punch-in/-out recording. This is useful when specific punch in and punch out
points are determined and you don’t want to take any risks in possible
punching in or out of the recording. "Punch in and out with markers" lets you
specify the exact points where the recording should start and stop. To operate
