Traction 1 Recording Question

[meblumen]

I apologize for the dumb question, I'm new to traction and haven't been using it that long. I'm a little stumped as to how to punch in a correction on an existing recorded track. I know how to set the markers and I followed all the instructions but I end up getting one wave form overlapping the other and when I play it back I get both sounds rather than just the new punch in. Also is there a way to just punch in on the fly without having to set the markers and with it only playing back the new wave form without me having the manually edit out the underdesireable part of the recording? Thanks in advance for your time and help.

splice, drag it back both ways then record a new one over it

Thanks for the help. Isn't there a more efficient, less destructive way of doing it? I'm mainly a nuendo user and got traction through the free download and mainly use it for demoing song ideas so its a completely different way of working. In Nuendo, it will only play the top wave form so you can record a track and then move the cursor to the area you want to punch in at, press play, hit record right before the punch in place and it will record a new wave without disturbing the old one. Then when you play it back it will only play the top (newly recorded wave) which you can then non-destructivly shorten to adjust the punch-in and makesure it joins at the zero crossing so as to not get any pops or clicks. Anyway, to make a long story short, I was just hoping you could do the same thing in Traction.

Try selecting the input and changing the "record mode" field to "replace old clips in edit with new ones".

Tracktion 1 does not have multi-take clips like Nuendo, so the type of procedure you're accustomed to in Nuendo is simply not possible right now.

What Ron suggested is probably the easiest way. Remember, dragging to resize clips isn't destructive editing-- the original will remain intact should you still wish to use that 'deleted' portion.

Yes you can do it, unless I've misunderstood. Change the record mode for the input as I outlined above, and new recordings will replace old ones for however long you record. This is non-destructive, so yes you can slip-edit the newly recorded take afterwards and restore what used to be there by slip-editing the old one.

The only downsides I am aware of is that dropping in to record at the moment csuses a slight glitch in playback, and it is not possible to drop out of record straight into play so you can't perform multiple drop-ins in one pass, you have to stop between each one.
