Continue recording on same track?

Post by Andy4028 » Mon Feb 18, 2019 8:09 am

Hi, how do I stop recording a track (When I make a mistake!) and continue recording on the same track? I am currently trying to record a whole keyboard track all the way through without mistakes! When I mess up, I have to delete the whole thing and try again. Frustrating! There must be a way to click just before the mistake and start from that point on the same track without having to go back and start again? Would need this for all tracks I guess, vocals, guitar, etc. Many thanks

If you are using the current Audacity 2.3.0, see here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/pun ... ecord.html

If you are using an older version, you will need to get the current version: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/

You may want to look at the Punch&Roll feature introduced with 2.3.0
