Punch In and Punch Out
The punch in and the punch out points are a pair of markers that you can use for punch in
and punch out of recordings. The punch in position determines the record start position and the
punch out position determines the record stop position.
You can activate punch in and punch out by activating the corresponding buttons on the
Transport panel.
The punch in position is locked to the left locator position and the punch out position to the right
locator position. The punch position elds are unavailable.
However, you can detach the punch points from the locators by deactivating Lock Punch Points
to Locators.
If you do so, the value elds become available and you can use them to set up the punch
positions independently from the locator positions.
You can also drag the punch in and punch out handles in the ruler to set the punch positions.
