Hi
I'm a newbie and my question may be quite stupid but nevertheless ...
I want to make language recordings and can't find how to continue recording from a given cursor position. If I press shift R it always adds the recording at the end of the exisiting one, with R i seem to creat a new track. What if I want to overwrite a part with a new recording (but save a part of the track later on? ... so it's an insert as it were)
thaks in advance

Re: How to continue recording at cursor location?
A very safe way to get what you want done, but in a slightly different way, is to make a new clip. Just hit R and record. When you're done, select that section, hit CTRL+X to cut the track, then put your cursor where you want that audio and do CTRL+V for pasting it at the spot you want.
