Hello - is there a way of marking mistakes on a track while recording, say in a label track, to assist editing at the end of a session? Thanks. I use Windows 10.
At the risk of making this more complex than it needs to be, many announcers just make a very loud noise. Anything that goes into overload will stand out against the recommended voice announcing volume.
You can automatically make this even more visible by turning on View > Show Clipping.
I don’t know of any way to do it on a label track in one action. You always (that I know of) have to create the label with the hot key (Control + B, Command + B on Macs)) and then ENTER your way around the comment. Two keystrokes, three counting the control key.
Or you could just clap.

The action label during recording, is Control + M or Command + period on Macs.
Plus the Enter key.

Fair Warning!!
The content track and the label track are not natively linked. If you change the duration of the voice, the labels will not follow you. You can force a link with Tracks > Sync Lock Tracks.
Or you could just clap.

Another note.
It is recommended that you export all original works, mistakes and all, as WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit sound files. This guarantees you’ll never have to read it again even if Audacity crashes or does anything else messy. Save the files somewhere safe. Edit copies.
Label tracks will not follow you.
But claps will.
