Playback and Recording : Audio Recording : Before Recording : Canceling a Record Take

Canceling a Record Take
While recording, it is possible to discard the current record take. This removes the audio (recorded up to that point) from your hard drive and deletes the clip from the track’s playlist and the Clip List. When using Loop Record mode, all takes from each record pass are discarded. Canceling recording when in Destructive Record mode is prohibited.
To cancel a record take while recording:
*
Press Command+Period (.) (Mac) or Control+Period (.) (Windows) before the Transport is stopped.
