Metronome Control - PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual

• Set the Left Locator in the Timeline Ruler of the Arrange view at the position you wish
to punch in—that is, where recording should begin.
• Set the Right Locator in the Timeline Ruler of the Arrange view at the position you
wish to punch out, that is, where recording should stop.
• Click on the Auto Punch button in the Transport, or press [I] (the letter 'i') on the
keyboard.
• With tracks record-enabled, begin recording at any point before the Left Locator
position.
• Playback will begin and recording will automatically activate at the Left Locator
position. The Record button in the Transport will turn red, the playback cursor will
continue to scroll from left to right, and a new Event will begin recording to any
record-enabled tracks.
• Recording will automatically stop at the Right Locator position. However, playback will
continue beyond the Right Locator position until you manually stop it by pressing
[Space Bar] on the keyboard or by clicking Stop in the Transport.
If you use the Auto-Punch feature in Studio One to record your punch-ins, or if you punch in
manually, the newly recorded audio is automatically crossfaded at its edges with the existing
Audio Event, so the transition between the old and new audio is not audible. The crossfade
time will be very small and not audible; however, you can edit the crossfade manually.

Metronome Control

A metronome makes audible clicks or other sounds that correspond to beats at a selectable
tempo, providing the musicians with a tempo reference while recording. This is especially
useful when recording drums or other rhythm-intensive tracks, as the editing and arranging
processes are made much easier when the recorded audio lines up with musical bars and
beats.
In Studio One, the metronome can be engaged and disengaged both globally and for each
hardware output in the Console, including the Main Out and any Sub Outs.

Click on the Metronome button, or press [C] on the keyboard, to globally engage and
disengage the metronome. The metronome is globally disengaged by default.
