Punch and roll is going to make life SO much easier for recording audiobooks holy molyyyy, cheers for the video! Have been loving your content since finding the channel last week!
I have been auditioning for 3 weeks, deleting my entire track when making a mistake and re-recording the whole thing! You’re the only VO professional who has shown me how to fix this!!! THANK YOOOUUU!
Interesting video and useful. The punch and roll looks very good. So far I have been trying to record all my voice-over at the same time to avoid this problem. Thanks 😀 👍
The thing that startled me about punch and roll is it deletes everything after the punch-in mark. So I opted for the copy/paste in my recordings. Would a workaround be to split the track to preserve the recording that follows, PnR the new recording, then reconnect the timelines? I've seen some use crossfades and ripple editing. How to get these all together for a workflow is something I'm trying to understand.
Great question! I think there are different use cases. Punch and Roll is great for when you’re actively recording. You make a mistake, P&R, and continue. Preserving anything past that doesn’t factor into it because at that point there isn’t anything. If you’re editing later (once you’ve recorded a bunch of stuff) then you probably want to use a combination of copy/paste and ripple editing, with crossfades to disguise the transitions as needed. I prefer ripple edits over copy/paste because you’re recording the correction immediately after making the mistake so it’s easier to keep your energy and tone the same.
There is, however, the scenario where you’re coming back to a project after some time has passed and you need to try and match the way you did the read the first time. In that case I would split or duplicate the track to preserve what follows and do P&R.
That’s a strange one. It sounds like a conflict in settings with your recording device and Audacity, but the fact that it jumps straight to Audio 2 on its own is odd. I found this: bit.ly/44IOL4j which has some promising advice in the second comment. It’s possible the default Project Rate associated with your recording device differs from the one in Audacity. I would start there.

Absolutely!! Wow, that sounds exhausting 😣 This should speed up your workflow significantly then! Crush those auditions!!
This is so so helpful!
Thank you that was very helpful for someone who just started using Audacity (like me).
Appreciated!
Of course! Glad it helped.

@killervoicestudios3973 Yes, I think I might try that approach too. Thanks 😀 👍
thank you thank you!!
For some reason my audio 1 wont record. It goes to audio 2 and records on that track everytime. Any advice?

I can't find part one.
