• Recording Foley (see “Foley Recording with
TrackPunch” on page 324)
• Tracking and overdubbing in music produc-
tion and any other recording situation (see
“Tracking and Overdubbing Music with
TrackPunch” on page 325)
Each of these workflows takes advantage of
TrackPunch features and options.
In the following example workflows, it is as-
sumed you already familiar with routing, select-
ing, and grouping Pro Tools tracks. If you are
not, see Chapter 10, “Tracks” and Chapter 28,
“Basic Mixing.”
Film Dubbing and Mixing with
TrackPunch
By providing all the essential online punch re-
cording and monitor switching capabilities of a
digital dubber, TrackPunch optimizes Pro Tools
for re-recording and mixing for film.
Film dubbing and mixing features of Track-
Punch let you do the following:
• Arm and punch Pro Tools audio tracks re-
motely from a master synchronizer such as
SoundMaster through P2 commands at any
time, without having to stop playback and
while maintaining time code lock. (Requires
Digidesign MachineControl.)
• Toggle Pro Tools audio tracks between input
and disk monitoring.
• Use TrackPunch when Pro Tools is the time
code master (generating) or when slaving.
• Because Pro Tools can be networked, Track-
Punch (and all other) audio files and whole
sessions can be available for secure transfer to
other systems for review, editing, and ar-
chiving.
A typical pre-dub session using TrackPunch
includes the following steps:
1
Configure synchronization between Pro Tools
and other devices as appropriate.
2
Choose Setup > Preferences and click the
Operation tab.
3
Select (enable) Transport RecordLock. This
keeps the Transport Record armed after the
transport stops.
4
Deselect Audio Track RecordLock. This causes
the audio track record to disarm when the trans-
port stops.
5
Choose Options > TrackPunch to enable
TrackPunch mode.
6
Create 32 new tracks, then do the following:
• Assign their inputs
• Group them into eight-track groups.
7
Click the record enable buttons in the first
eight tracks to TrackPunch enable the first eight
tracks (or, the group for the first pre-dub).
8
Assign the console paddles to the first eight-
track group in the session.
9
Begin the pre-dub pass. Use the console pad-
dles to arm Pro Tools, and to punch in and out
on the first group.
In Remote mode, Transport RecordLock has
no effect. The synchronizer determines the
behavior.
In Remote mode, Audio Track RecordLock
has no effect. The synchronizer determines
the behavior.
Use the Group List to quickly select all
tracks in the group, and Alt-Shift-click
(Windows) or Option-Shift-click (Mac) to
record-enable all the tracks in the group.
