QuickPunch Recording
QuickPunch is a “punch-on-the-fly,” that gives
you the ability to instantaneously punch-in (ini-
tiate recording) on a record-enabled audio track
during playback and then punch-out (exit re-
cording) simply by clicking the TRANSPORT
RECORD button.
To punch-on-the-fly using QuickPunch:
1 Press QUICKPUNCH, located directly above
the RECORD button. The QUICKPUNCH red
LED illuminates.
2 Make sure you have set the QuickPunch
Crossfade Length preference in the Editing page
of Pro Tools Preferences dialog to the appropri-
ate value.
3 Record-enable the tracks you want to punch.
The channel REC ARM and MASTER REC but-
tons will flash.
4 Prepare to record by cueing Pro Tools.
5 Press PLAY.
6 At the punch-point, press RECORD in the
TRANSPORT section. The REC ARM and MAS-
TER REC buttons will stop flashing and stay lit
during recording, as will the RECORD button.
7 To punch-out, press RECORD again. While
Pro Tools is still playing back you can perform
additional punch-ins simply by clicking
RECORD at each punch-in/punch-out point (up
to 100 running punches per take).
Setting Up Cue Mixes
The Control 24 AUX OUT outputs can be con-
nected to your cue mix system to provide a
headphone mix. The Talkback and Listenback
signals are always routed to these outputs.
To set up your cue mix, you can either engage
the MONITOR TO AUX button in the COMMU-
NICATIONS/HEADPHONE section to send your
main stereo mix to the AUX OUT outputs, or use
sends to create a special cue mix.
Control Room to Cue Mix
To feed the cue mix the Main Pro Tools (Control
Room) Monitor Mix:
1 Make sure your cue mix system is connected
to the Control 24 AUX OUT outputs.
2 Press MONITOR TO AUX.
3 Use the AUX LEVEL knob to adjust cue mix
level.
Discrete Cue Mix
To create a discrete stereo cue mix with Pro Tools
Sends:
1 Connect a pair of Pro Tools outputs to the
Control 24 AUX IN inputs.
2 Make sure your cue mix system is connected
to the Control 24 AUX OUT outputs.
3 Assign a pre-fader stereo send on each channel
and Aux Input needed for the cue mix (using
pre-fader sends enables you maintain a cue mix
independent of your main monitoring mix).
4 Assign the send outputs to the output pair
patched to the Control 24 AUX IN buss.
Refer to the Pro Tools Reference Guide for
details on using QuickPunch, QuickPunch
Preferences, and Mute Frees Voice.
