Automation: Latch Punch-Out while playing back

I presume you’re talking about Auto Match? There are a couple of ways you can get out of write mode and should take into account your return time setting as you can see this is written ahead of the write position.

  • Toggle write for the track or globally (make a macro to toggle write off/on)
  • Suspend automation for the track or globally (make a macro to toggle suspend off/on)
  • Auto punch (punch out when hitting the right locator which could be used with a key command to set right locator)
  • Enable cycle mode with the preference “Continue Writing” disabled (section will loop around and auto punch out for the next cycle)

Perhaps there is another method but one of those should be able to give you the functionality you want.
