Which of the following are requirements for using Destructive Punch Record mode?

• A. Files must start at sample 1; length unlimited; AudioSuite supported
• B. It only works with MIDI
• C. It requires a minimum 88.2 kHz sample rate
• D. Files must start at the beginning (sample 0); lengths must be equal to or greater than the destructive punch file length; not supported on AudioSuite

Answer: (D)

Destructive punch records overwrite existing audio in real time, so the alignment and length of the file being overwritten matter. The file must start at the very beginning (sample 0) and be long enough to cover the entire destructive punch segment, otherwise you’d overwrite beyond the file or leave gaps. Because this process happens during recording itself, it isn’t supported by AudioSuite, which handles offline processing rather than live, destructive edits. This mode isn’t about MIDI, and there isn’t a required 88.2 kHz sample rate for enabling it—the real constraints are the start point and the minimum length of the existing audio.
