If you use sound on sound blend perhaps you can just start recording where you want the first track to end after deleting the first track after that point (first of all) thus deleting the bad part of the track. Of course, the second recording is silence in those measures you recorded the first time from the beginning until you get to the place where you want to make noise again in the track.
I think that works, although I have not used that in awhile but did it by accident I think I have. And of course you may have to delete the silence of the second clip (from the first clip already both there) recording on the same track while the first recording on that track up to the mark was what you wanted.
Copy the first time recording clip onto another track (bounce) first also incase that does not work.
You make two recordings on the same track.
You are blending what is already there with the second recording on the same track.
(Othwise you have to check - Overwrite (replace) to use that to replace every measure where you start recording of all because Sound on Sound Blend is the default action of Sonar.)
I never use Punch In and Punch Out to do anything it is not really needed. Although you may have to delete the silence part of the second time recording (the first time recording is still there in another clip both on the same track), and combine the first time and second time recording to make it look better and to only have one clip on the track at the end, I think that can be done.
(But of course if you are not adding noise during the recording times of both times into the track.)
But then recordings are suppose to be quiet in the silence areas.
And instead of using Punch in and Punch Out and all of that you just start the second time recording over the first time recording maybe 8 bars before the punch-in point you were going to use. Thus you can bring up the first recording clip at the beginning of the recording and bring up the second time recording clip by clicking past where the first time recording ended. (or was deleted pass that point in the song.)
And delete the parts not used and combine into one clip after that - editing procedure.
As long as you have two places on the same track where you can bring up either clip.
Sure it works, because you are recording two clips on the same track - Sound on sound. (not Overwrite).
And the beauty of it is that the first time recording will be playing while you are waiting to come in to record the Sound on Sound of the second time recording on the same track.
Sound on Sound does not re-record what was already there on the track only Overwrite does.
And no measures to worry about.
