I've run into some inconsistencies. I was reading a tutorial about doing punches in PT, and it lead me to believe that when I punch in over a region, that when I go back and trim that new punch region, trimming off the excess will reveal the original region underneath. That's not what happens though. It turns into blank space, then I have to drag the original region to butt up against the new punch region so that there is no silence. I'm reading from a book that it's supposed to still have the original waveform underneath.
For example if you punch in over an original whole-file region, PT converts that whole-file region into two auto-created subregions: one for the left side and one for the right side. It's these auto-created regions that PT considers as never having what was pasted over the top of it. I wish there were a way to have the original region underneath it at all times instead of having to do so much trimming.
Is there some way to change this?
And here's another issue: the PT5 manual must be wrong because it says that a new region may be something like GTR_01, and that subsequent takes are named GTR_01-00. I find this to be wrong, and instead it increases sequentially with the first set of digits like GTR_02. I looked in the PT6 manual though, and they seem to have corrected it.
