Delay Compensation Settings
When using DestructivePunch to punch in on
an existing recording, make sure the Delay
Compensation settings are the same as when
the original file was recorded.
◆ If Delay Compensation was active when re-
cording the original file, it should be kept active
while punching into the original file in Destruc-
tivePunch mode.
◆ If Delay Compensation was inactive when re-
cording the original file, it should be deactivated
while punching into the original file in Destruc-
tivePunch mode.
To ensure that the Delay Compensation path on
record tracks remains consistent while using De-
structivePunch, you need to prevent Pro Tools
from using the Low Latency monitoring path
when record tracks switch to Input monitoring.
To ensure that Low-Latency monitoring is disabled
for a record track:
■
Control-Start-click (Windows) or Command-
Control-click (Mac) the Track Compensation in-
dicator on the track.
To ensure that Low-Latency monitoring is disabled
for all selected record tracks:
■
Control-Start-Shift-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-Control-Shift-click (Mac) the Track Com-
pensation indicator on the track.
To ensure that Low-Latency monitoring is disabled
for all record tracks:
■
Control-Alt-Start-Shift-click (Windows) or
Command-Option-Control-Shift-click (Mac)
the Track Compensation indicator on the track.

Start-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac)
the track’s Record Enable button to toggle the
