In Destructive Punch mode, how would you punch in and out on a single track?

• A. Use the transport's play button to punch the track.
• B. Turn off Destructive Punch mode and punch normally.
• C. Enable DestructivePunch mode, control-click the track's Record button to enable it; the Record button lights solid blue, and pressing Record in the Transport causes the punch to occur on that track.
• D. Use the track's waveform view to punch.

Answer: (C)

Destructive Punch mode works by arming a specific track for destructive recording. You set this up by control-clicking the track’s Record button until it lights solid blue. That indicates the track is enabled for destructive punch. With the track armed, pressing Record in the Transport starts the punch on that track and it writes over the existing audio between the punch-in and punch-out points. This per-track control is what makes Destructive Punch capable of affecting only the selected track, rather than all tracks. The other options don’t enable that targeted destructive behavior: using the transport’s play button won’t engage the destructive punch mechanism; turning off the mode reverts to non-destructive recording; relying on the waveform view isn’t how you activate punching.
