Default Record ONLY time selection - nothing before/after?

I've tried both time selection auto punch recording mode as well as normal mode with repeat on or off, but can't seem to figure out how to ONLY record for the amount of time and position of the time selection (without any added handles containing anything outside of the time selection). Is this possible? And of so, how?

Also, will this only work if loop recording is enabled? And is that just leaving the 'repeat' toggled on and hitting record, or is there some other thing I need to do to enable/start loop recording?

Basically, I have a very long project to print, and want it to print in real time rather than an offline render so that I can listen while it is bouncing down. But also, at times I will step in/out of the studio, so I want to be able to print something within a time selection rather than loop recording, and have the project stop playing/recording at the end of the selection. How can I do that?

If you use a pre-roll, maybe you are seeing pre-roll recording?

You Right clicked on the Record button and chose Time Select auto punch and it didn't work? I use that all the time just like that. Transport will continue but recording will not in this mode....you still have to press stop

is it that you want the transport to also stop at the end of the time selection automatically?

Well if this is about mixing down short sections, just create regions where you want your renders and use the region matrix to add them all to the render queue. I thought you wanted recordings to be the length of the time selection, which is what the prefs are for.

To get a recording to stop at a certain time you can use custom actions with the "wait for end of loop" action or smart markers or you can just run renders from the queue one at a time or all at once.

Okay this is weird. I'm not sure what changed, but the last time I tried the "time selection auto punch" record mode, it kept recording after the time selection in the file recorded. So even though it only showed the recorded item within the time selection, I could drag the right handle and see the additional data there. But I just tried this again, and now it actually stopped recording at the end of the time selection. So hooray for that!

Yeah, the main reason I am trying to do it this way is because when using the 'render' option for the items I am trying to bounce, for some reason, they all end up being -6dB quieter than they are in the project. When I record to a print track, they record properly/not attenuated.

Just to give a bit more info, what I need to do here is bounce out mono stems for each channel of 5.1 and quad mixes. So I have exploded the multichannel takes onto separate tracks, and hard panned and routed each channel to the appropriate output. It all sounds fine through the track folder containing the exploded channels for these items. But when I use the 'render to file' option for items, and regardless of if I tick the box for 'mono media to mono files' they all are rendered -6dB quieter than the items actually are in the tracks.

if anyone has any idea why this happens or how to fix it, please let me know. It would definitely be much easier/faster to just use the render options for all of these items.

I would update the thread with that question instead. Or start another one.

Not at the office now, so not sure. But you think it could be the fact that the tracks are panned? Is there some way that rendering items could ignore track output volume/mute/panning/FX status, and only render the item without taking the track settings into account?

Default mono summing /phase cancellation

It could be phase cancellation. Are the tracks recorded in stereo and then summed to mono from a stereo file?
