Adding to a track

If I am recording and stop the process to edit the track, is there a way to have it so when I start recording again, it will be appended to the first recording?

Currently, I have used copy and paste to add the second recording to the first.

Thank you....

No, but if you Pause instead of Stop, you can unpause and it will keep recording on the same track. Try it a couple of times on a short, unimportant show.

There is one minor down side. People forget they paused the recording and can't figure out why the tools don't work.

Apart from using Koz' suggestion you can't in 1.2.x - but you can in 1.3.x wghere clickick SHIFT+R or SHIFT+Record will sart recording again at the end of the existing track.

THANKS! I'll give it a try...

An aside question: I assume that the "input" into Audacity from my Sound Max card is analog. In other words, the digital was converted into analog from the streaming digital.

Thanks again...
