RECORDING
NOTE: There are certain considerations regarding destructive recording that you should be
aware of.
• THERE IS NO UNDO FOR RECORDINGS WHEN DESTRUCTIVE MODE IS USED.
• After you have just loaded a new project, as a safety factor, recording over cues in that
project will not delete their audio from disk and the original project cannot be damaged. If,
however, you record over cues recorded since the project was loaded, newly recorded
cues' audio will be deleted from disk.

When DESTRUCTIVE recording mode is on, if you record over existing
cues, the audio associated with the original cue may be erased from
disk. However, you must either record over the original cue completely,
or start recording from within a cue to past its end - dropping in and/or
out half way through the cue will not cause the original cue's audio to be
deleted from disk. For example:
DROP IN
New recording
DROP IN

DROP IN

If you are using AUTO-PUNCH to drop in and out of record automatically
and you have to keep repeating the auto-punch over and over again, the
DESTRUCTIVE mode will be useful as it will help prevent the build up of
unwanted recordings on your disk.
The destructive record mode will go some way to avoiding the build up
of unnecessary audio on your disk especially when performing multiple
punch-in/out but, given the above points, there may be times when you
will need to perform a manual cleanup or minimise.
