Destructive Punch. This is only found on HD systems and it works similar to the way our Track Punch works except we're working with Destructive Recording. So we know how Destructive works. It records over what we have. I've got two audio Regions here and I've got this set up for hopefully in a manner that makes sense as far as understanding the different parameters of Destructive Punch Mode. Again, we can go down and hold down our Control to go into this or hit the Start Key on Windows and I'm going to go into our DP Mode. Now digital performer but Destructive Punch and we're going to go start to record. So there's a few things that you need to keep in mind when you do Destructive Punch. One, you're punching in and out of an audio file; 2, it actually needs to start with the tracks that are in record from the very beginning of the session so it needs to start at sample zero. So I could go in and just automatically make a selection and do Option Shift Three and make this automatically create an audio file but it needs to have an audio file that it's working with that starts all the way at the beginning and then the next thing that needs to be set up is in your Preferences under your Destructive Punch File Length. It needs to be the length of how long you're going to be recording. So if you're going to be recording a four-minute song, then set it at least to five minutes, something longer than the length. I purposely set this up to one minute. I've set it really low in count and I've created two audio files so you can see what happens here and I've got three tracks. You can see one of them is unarmed, one of them is blinking, one is solid blue. And what this is indicating is whether the track is going to go into record or not. So this is Destructive Punch enabled. I can go into record on any of these but this is saying that this track is going to be ready for going into Destructive Record and this one's not. So what it's going to do, it's going to automatically create a file about one minute in length and what's already here, it's just going to create blank space for this and you'll see this automatically get created as I go to jump into Record. So I'm going to hit Pad Three and it gives me this dialog. Hey, you realize that you need to set things up? So I'm going to prepare this for Destructive Punch and in Destructive Punch you can see that there's nothing on this track, right? This one did have things on them but it automatically created a space in between so I had two regions before and here they are and now you can see that I have four regions because it created two new ones to jump into record. So what I'm going to do is just jump into record at a location right in the middle of our audio file and I'm going to hit Pad Three so I've got three different settings right here and I have 200 punch ins and outs that I can do. So just like Destructive and this uses two voices as well so like Track Punch. I'm going to go in and start recording, so on the track that was blinking, this was set up to go into record so you can see this is in record. If I hit Pad Three again, I'm out of record on just that track but I can come into record on this track at any point. Hit Pad Three, now both of those are recording. Watch what happens when I get to the end of this one minute in length. You can see that all of a sudden it just stopped recording. I didn't hit any buttons. It just stopped recording because it needed to merge into a file that was previously there. So again, the point is is that you need to make sure that your setting is longer than what you're going to start recording, otherwise you're going to have that problem. So the track that was just solid blue didn't start recording but at least it said that I'm going to be Destructive Punch recording. So kind of like Track Punch, what you saw there but using the Destructive feature. So this is the only thing that really has an input so that's why you didn't see much change here. So now I've got my old stuff that was there plus the new things being recorded. Wait, hit Pad 3, now both of those are recording. Watch what happens when I get to the end. And it just cuts off so you can see that it stopped recording at that location. If I want to turn this on to be just ready to be in Destructive Punch, I just hold down the Control Key or again the Start Key to let that be enabled. If I want to go into Destructive Punch and have that ready to start recording, all I need to do is just click. If I wanted to do it on everything on this, then I'm going to hold down my Control and Option together or my Start and Alt Key together and that puts them all ready to go into record so now this third track, if I hit Pad Three again to go into record, it's going to give me the dialog and I have to create that for the third track. So that's Destructive Punch and again, that's only on an HD system.
