To punch in and out on multiple tracks at the same time, what is the required action after enabling DP on those tracks?

• A. Use the record button in the transport window during playback to punch in and out on all enabled tracks.
• B. Mute all but one track and punch.
• C. Create a group with all tracks and punch via the master.
• D. Change the timebase to samples.

Answer: (A)

Dynamic Punch lets you punch in and out on all tracks that have DP enabled, in real time, while you’re playing back. To actually perform the punch, you start record on the transport during playback. Pro Tools then records on every track with DP enabled, so you can capture changes across multiple tracks at once. Muting other tracks, grouping via a master, or changing the timebase don’t trigger this multi-track punch behavior. The essential step is to press the transport’s Record button to engage punch mode while playback, and DP-enabled tracks will be punched simultaneously.
