If you have made a recording and you find a small section they you wanted to replace, but not enough to rerecord the entire piece, you need to punch in.

So here is what you do:
- Open you music in Audacity
- Find the section that you want to replace
- Put your cursor a few seconds before the section that you want to replace
- Hit the RECORD button
- When you get to the correct place perform your new take
- Using your TIME SHIFT tool make sure that your new take lines up properly in your recording
- Now using your SELECTION tool select the portion of the old recording that you want to remove
- Go to EFFECT and select AMPLIFY
- Set your amplify setting to the lowest possible and click OK
- Now play back the entire recording

When you are all done you can go FILE - EXPORT and export as a MP3 or WAV or what ever you like. This will combine the 2 tracks into 1.

Happy recording,
Andrew
