To open the Audio Punch-In tool:
  Select Tools > Audio Punch-In.
Features of the Audio Punch-In tool are as follows:
  Play In/Out button: Starts playing with the ability to perform a real- time punch-in. The play loops from the IN point to the OUT point, but stops looping once recording is done. This button blinks bright green when playing.
  Record button: Starts and stops the recording. If an IN point and OUT point are set, recording automatically starts at the IN point and stops at the OUT point. This button blinks bright red while recording.
  Stop button: Stops playing or recording and saves the last recorded data. This button is bright blue when recording stops.
  Go to Mark IN button: Moves the position indicator to the IN point. If there is no IN point, the system goes to where the position indicator was previously located or to the start of the sequence.
  Cancel button: Stops a recording without saving the recorded data.
  Audio Tool button: Opens the Audio tool so you can adjust the audio levels during recording.
  Passthrough Mix Tool button: Opens the Passthrough Mix tool so you can monitor the audio levels during recording.
  Preroll text box: Allows you to provide an audiovisual cue before the recording begins. The Avid system backs up the blue position indicator for the prescribed number of seconds. You can hear the audio during preroll.
