Want to punch in quickly, with a little preroll?
Put the play cursor at the punch in point and run this macro.
Before
After
And... The Macro
Notes / babble:
EDIT: Forum member, Simplecarnival suggested that Transport: Record be added to the last step in the macro... Brilliant
Of course, you need to have OPTIONS:"Record mode:Time selection auto punch" checked for this to work
Also, I dont think there is a way to specify what "a little bit" is in the "rewind a little bit" part of the macro...
If you want it to rewind more, try just adding another instance of that command in the next slot.
And...For the play cursor to jive with this macro you must make sure this the
"move edit cursor to start or time selection on time selection change"
is checked under PREFERENCES>EDITING....
May I also suggest that you UNCHECK OPTIONS> "loop points linked to time selection" ...
I dont like what happens when you only get part way through a punch in section
when recording in a loop selection... Its just weird!
P.S. Respect to Billoon, for pointing out the new
loop / time selection actions to me awhile back.
Thanks also to simplecarnival for trying to control his DAW
from another other room with a gamepad, inspiring this macro... LOL!
