Dear Adacity Developers,
My system is MAC OS 11.6 - the problem occurs with Audacity 3.1.2.
Unfortunately, the versions after 3.0.5, including the current 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 have a significant problem when overdubbing.
An enormous, no longer correctable latency occurs with the previously recorded tracks running along, which makes overdubbing impossible when using the “Punch and Roll” function!
I therefore continue to use Audacity 3.0.5, which works perfectly in this respect.
For soon remedy hopes and greets cordially

Please see this thread: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/punch-and-roll-not-synced-in-3-1-2/63375/5
BTW the developers rarely visit this Forum - but this is already logged as a known issue on GitHub:
Punch and roll: tracks are not played in sync. #2162

Thanks Peter,
I followed up your hints. Too bad, obviously a known problem that unfortunately is not prioritized. I use AUDACITY to create music pieces (multitrack) and need the function to correct faulty recordings.
Probably the problem is related to the integration of the move tool into the selection tool (since version 3.0.5?) - apart from the problem a pleasant improvement!
Hope for improvement soon.
