Turn on Punch on the Fly mode by doing one of the following:
•
Choose Record > Allow Quick Punch-In.
•
Control-click the Record button
in the control bar, then choose Allow Quick Punch-In from
the shortcut menu.

Click the Play button in the control bar, then use the Record Toggle key command at the point
where you want to start recording.
Audio recording starts immediately.

to stop recording.
If you use the latter option, recording ends, but playback continues.

accompanied by a dropout of all audio tracks.
