The default behavior of Pro Tools is to record one whole file audio clip each time you press record, which is then divided into a number of separately numbered subset clips, one for each pass, with the most recent subset clip created being displayed on the playlist, and therefore the one that plays back if you stop recording and play the session. Previous subset clips known as takes can be accessed in the same way as MIDI takes see above.
One whole file audio clip, and four subset audio clips, which represent four takes, shown in the Clip List. Note: if you stop recording less than half way through a take less than halfway through the playback selection , that take is not captured. This allows you to complete the final take without capturing a further partial take, by stopping recording after the end of the final take. Again, one whole file audio clip is recorded each time you make a recording, but each subset audio clip one 'take' per pass is placed on its own playlist.
You can view the playlists created by choosing 'playlists' from the Track View Selector. Look out for a companion article to this one on The MPV Hub which will show you how to organize and edit your takes and playlists. More articles by this author.

In terms of where the recording starts and stops, this mode works in exactly the same way as the previously mentioned nondestructive mode in that if markers are set then recording will occur between them, or if not, recording will begin at the playback cursor and continue until stopped.
You should also be aware that destructive recording is not supported with rendered AudioSuite clips with handles, should you want to use destructive mode in this situation then you will need to consolidate these clips.
Loop record mode allows you to record over and over again between recording markers in a nondestructive manor, providing your selection is at least one second in length. This mode is particularly useful when you want to continuously record a specfic section of your production without losing momentum which often occurs when having to setup and start recording over and over again. Like various other recording modes, while recording, the waveform overview will not become visible until you have stopped recording.
QuickPunch mode allows you, at the touch of a button, to instantly either start or stop nondestructive recording while playback continues regardless. This is a particularly useful record mode when you wish to record very small sections within a large playback area without racking up lots of storage space with unwanted material.
The way in which it functions is very clever giving you lots of options after you have recorded to edit as you wish, without the fear of having recorded over something else during the process.
Just like TrackPunch mode, this option is only available within HD systems or systems which have the additional Complete Production Toolkit available. This mode, as with any destructive mode, should be used with a fair amount of caution to save yourself from accidently deleting something you wanted to keep.
As we have said over and over, if you have sufficient storage space on your system, play it safe and use a nondestrcutive record mode. While we are discussing the different record modes available within Pro Tools I thought it would be a good time to quickly touch on some options you have when recording MIDI data into your sessions as well.
As we have discussed, with audio, it is the record mode which determines whether newly recorded material replaces existing material or is joined with it, when working with MIDI things are a little different.
When MIDI merge is inactive , existing material will be removed as it is recorded over, this may perhaps be useful when you are unhappy with a take and simply want to record another take over the top of it without wanting to keep any of the original data.
You will notice that on the end of the transport bar are your MIDI controls as shown below. You should notice a small icon which looks like a horizontal arrow with an arrow coming in above it, this is the merge control, when the background is grey merge is unactive and when it is blue , merge is active. In Pro Tools you are able to highlight a section in the timeline and loop this highlighted section.
Are you able to do any of the two in Media Composer? Being a long-time audio guy, it's unfortunate that video editors and audio editors don't work as much alike as you and I would want. You can loop a marked in-to-out section of the timeline play in-to-out but I'm not aware of being able to have the playhead go back to the starting play position in MC as you find in audio editors.
I suppose you could mark a spot on the timeline and use the goto in or out command or maybe use markers or an edit point. If MC can put the playhead back to a starting point when stopping playiback I'd like to hear about it, too.
