Overview of DestructivePunch
Mode

To use DesctructivePunch mode, you do the do the

tivePunch recording (see “Configuring
Pro Tools for DestructivePunch Recording” on
page 30).

2

Put Pro Tools in DestructivePunch mode,

which is indicated by “dp” in the Pro Tools
Transport window (see “Enabling Destructive-
Punch Mode” on page 31).

3

Enable individual tracks for DestructivePunch

recording (see “Enabling Tracks for Destructive-
Punch Recording” on page 32).

4

Prepare the material on the enabled tracks for

DestructivePunch recording if necessary (see

ing” on page 34).

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.
