How did you manage to to loop record with punch enabled? They are mutually exclusive and it should be impossible in Ardour 6.

Creating loop range, then punch range, press in/out, master rec, track rec. "L" key for start recording.

Odd, in Ardour6-rc1 this disable Punch In/Out. -- Which version of Ardour are you using (Menu > Help > About)

Looks good so far. None of the screenshots show the loop-transport button. When you start loop recording, punch should be disabled and the controls become insensitive.

When Looping punch in/out buttons are insensitive (grayed out):

Doesn't intuitive than. I just select loop range, punch range, and press "L" key on the keyboard - couldn't see that it was disabled. On the other hand, why this feature cannot be implemented? It would be useful. IF it worked correctly I would use it in non-layered mode all the time.

It is very hard to implement this and maintain capture alignment. The time required to make it work correctly is no relationship to the usefulness of the feature.

All other DAWs that I know of only have a single record-range that is either used for Punch or Loop. In hindsight it was perhaps a mistake to separate them for Ardour.

Another problem is that the ranges may overlap. You could have punch-in before a loop-start, or disable punch-out.
There is only one valid combination (punch inside loop and punch in/out enabled), and more than 20 other possible overlap scenarios that don't make sense.
Not to mention the settings can be changed while recording.

This is not solvable in any sensible way.

Loop and punch recording should be mutually exclusive, and there should be a bug report pointing that out.
