|
|
<p>
|
|
The current <dfn>selection range</dfn>, as set with the <a href="/ardours-interface/the-toolbox/">Range Mode tool</a>,
|
|
is displayed in these three clocks: start of the range, end of the range, and length.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Clicking on the range clocks will locate to either the beginning or end of the punch range.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd> clicking on any of the clocks brings up a context menu
|
|
allowing to change the type of time display between the <a href="/introducing-ardour/basic-gui-operations/editing-clocks/">
|
|
4 clock modes</a>, and to copy the selected clock's time to the clipboard.

<p>

The punch controls available in the main toolbar, work in conjunction with the
|
|
punch clocks, only visible while in Editor Mode.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <kbd class="menu">In</kbd> and <kbd class="menu">Out</kbd> buttons relate
|
|
to the Punch range, and allow to use only one of the two punch boundaries, or both:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>In only</dt><dd>Records from the In marker on, without a end boundary</dd>
|
|
<dt>Out only</dt><dd>Records untils the Out marker, without a beginning boundary</dd>
|
|
<dt>In only</dt><dd>Records only between the In and Out markers</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The punch clocks can be controlled the same way as the range clocks (moving the playhead,
|
|
and changing the display mode).

<h2 id="rec-mode">Recording mode</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <kbd class="menu">Rec</kbd> button affects how the tracks behave when recording:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Non-Layered OFF <em>(default)</em></dt>
|
|
<dd>Tracks in <dfn>normal mode</dfn> 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.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>Non-Layered ON</dt>
|
|
<dd>Tracks using <dfn>non-layered mode</dfn> 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 <a href="/editing-and-arranging/change-region-lengths/pushpull-trimming/">push/pull trimming</a>.
