Logic Pro - Punch Recording w/Marquee Tool (FASTER METHOD!)

Quick clarification. Around 2:51 I demonstrate this with the Cycle Range. I just wanted to clarify that it was not my intent to use it for cycle recording (loop recording). It will not work with cycle recording after the first pass. My intent there was only to show that you can use the cycle range to control the start point of the playback, without having to manually set the playhead.

This was a great tip! This has been my big beef with Logic Pro. Finally something that's a no brainer for overdubbing and punching.

Thanks to Oliver for this one. And thank you for the video explanation

[joshuanaut]

I have been wondering how to do this forever. Thank you!

[LindaMcRae]

This frickin' rocks!!!! Thanks so much. I'm my own engineer, etc and have been wondering how to do this!

[JandNandJ]

Exactly what I was trying to learn! Thank you for the video.

great tip! thanks, i just set the playback head a certain number of bars prior and hit record, usually via my ipad and remote. i then hit stop and clean up the front and back of the area, and comp it if i wish.

thnk you very much my brother i love you ill think of you everytime i do this

In the earliest versions this was much easier! Just click on the location where you want to record with the marquee tool and that's fine, the recording will not stop until you stop it. This way you didn't have to select the area where you wanted to use it and you didn't get the chance of losing anything

Thanks for the tips as there were a few other things I noticed in the video that helped me too. Is there an option to overdub audio recordings. I like the punch in aspect but what if I just want Logic to keep the audio as I overdub some more ideas.

Thank you man. This was what im looking for🙏

You can use Quick punch with the Logic Remote app without a second person. This is how I record myself when recording my Rhodes piano.

Amazing! My first album releases this weekend 😂…this would have been helpful! Lol, album 2!

Not sure what options i have selected, but I make a selection with the marquee tool, Press R on the keyboard, or record on my NI controller, and it automatically jumps to the beginning of the selection and records, with a one bar count in. i don't have to manually move the playhead. Also works with instrument tracks. I have 10.7.6

heya, absolutely love the video, tysm for saving my butt😭I was wondering if you could teach me how u got the crossfades between the audio clips. please? ;)

[TheCitizenmax]

brilliant - just what the doctor ordered !

[domrap]

This don’t work for me.

When i try to use the Marquee tool shortcut to punch in and hit record, nothing happens.
The red bar don’t show up or moves to where i got the marquee tool located to punch in.

I got the autopunch in my control bar and been it using for years, but now i want to use the marquee tool to punch in much quicker for better work flow efficiency!

After I did this and only starts the recording from a certain spot on the track. How do I get it to start recording where I want it to?
