Recording
After you punch record, choosing Undo both discards any new material
you recorded and restores the original material that had been deleted.
You can also combine loop and punch recording to record several takes of
a punch. Say you are working on that perfect take of a guitar solo and
you need to hear a couple of bars of the song as Òpre-rollÓ before you
punch in. By combining looping with punch, you can have each take
begin before you start to play and still have the solo cut in at the
appropriate instant.
In the example mentioned previously, you could loop from bar 17 to bar
26 but record only bars 24 and 25. HereÕs what this looks like:
