I’m a complete novice and can not figure out how to hear myself when I punch and roll record. I’m narrating an audiobook and using a blue yeti microphone. The audacity version I’m running is 2.3.2 and my system is a Mac running OS Sierra version 10.12.1. Has anyone figured out how to still hear yourself while doing the punch and roll record? Thanks!
Do you have Overdubbing selected?
Audacity > Preferences > Recording: [X] Overdub.
Also, you should be listening to your Yeti with headphones and have the Yeti as the Audacity playback device.

Your first? We publish audiobook mastering tools and diagnostic testing.
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering
You can also post a sample of your voice on the forum and we can do quicky diagnostics—usually much faster than ACX’s two week turnaround time.

And, yes, you can submit a test to ACX. Do Not read a whole book and only then stop to find out if the quality is high enough.
