In this segment, Carlo teaches you how to punch in and out in Studio One!
Auto Punch
Studio One uses a feature called Auto Punch, which allows you to set points at which to start and stop recording. The tool sort of functions like your assistant, allowing you to stay creative and locked into a performance without having to start and stop recording on your own.
You can use Auto Punch to replace errant chords/notes or otherwise patch up performances you aren’t totally satisfied with.
Start by toggling Auto Punch “on” by using “i” on your keyboard or clicking the icon located in the lower playback area. With Auto Punch on, you’ll next want to make a selection to designate where recording will start and end.
It’s possible you’ll want to make precise selections by disabling Snap to Grid using the N key.
You can also change the Pre-record Audio Input time from Preferences, allowing you to start recording a chosen amount of time before your Auto Punch marker. This gives you some flexibility in case you start playing before the marker actually triggers record.
