Auto Punch
The Auto Punch function automatically drops into and

default setting, the starting and ending points of
the last recording are automatically set as the in
and out points, respectively. You can disable this
automatic setting by opening the
Transport
tab of
the
SETTINGS
screen (select the
Settings
item from the
Windows
menu), and remove the check mark next to
the
Update Punch Points
item. )
You can also drag the punch in and out points in

fill the timeline ruler. You may want to zoom into a
waveform and set the markers manually if you’re
trying to replace or spot-erase some recorded
audio.
