The current selection range, as set with the Range Mode tool,
is displayed in these three clocks: start of the range, end of the range, and length.
Clicking on the range clocks will locate to either the beginning or end of the punch range.
Right clicking on any of the clocks brings up a context menu
allowing to change the type of time display between the
4 clock modes, and to copy the selected clock's time to the clipboard.
The Punch Controls & clocks
The Punch Controls, and the related Punch clocks
The punch controls available in the main toolbar, work in conjunction with the
punch clocks, only visible while in Editor Mode.
The In and Out buttons relate
to the Punch range, and allow to use only one of the two punch boundaries, or both:
In only
Records from the In marker on, without a end boundary
Out only
Records untils the Out marker, without a beginning boundary
In only
Records only between the In and Out markers
The punch clocks can be controlled the same way as the range clocks (moving the playhead,
and changing the display mode).
Recording mode
The Rec button affects how the tracks behave when recording:
Non-Layered OFF (default)
Tracks in normal mode will record non-destructively —
new data is written to new files, and when overdubbing, new regions will be
layered on top of existing ones. This is the recommended mode for most workflows.
Non-Layered ON
Tracks using non-layered mode will record non-destructively
— new data is written to new files, but when overdubbing, the existing
regions are trimmed so that there are no overlaps. This does not affect
the previously recorded audio data, and trimmed regions can be expanded
again at will. Non-layered mode can be very useful for spoken word material,
especially in combination with push/pull trimming.
