How do I erase part of a clip

I performed a punch-in recording on top of a bad part of a vocal clip (SOS by mistake). The singer is gone. I need to get rid of the original since it comes thru under the good part of the vocal. How do I erase part of the vocal track? It's at the end of the song. not the middle (thank God!). Looked in the help, but it's no help.

    Slip edit. in track view, set the item to Clip in the header for the track. then hover over the edge of the clip and slide it. you can slide it back later if you want to. This effectively hides the audio so it's silent. You can also apply clip fades to the clip.+

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    I understand this so that you need to erase the actual vocal part that is playing simultaneously under the new, good part. If that is the case, there's no way to do it in SONAR or in any other software, unless you've recorded in layers and the layers are still separate. If the vocal track is clean and good, Melodyne Editor might help, though. Vocals are such a delicate thing that evenvery small anomalies can be spotted.

    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    For the life of me I don't understand why Sonars default is to SOS,, who on earth would ever use that. To me it's a left over from the days of four tracks where you had no other choice. 
    I often forget to toggle it on new projects I start with out my template and it always ruins a full  take when I realize a false start is still mixed in there.

    The least you can do is find out if there is two clips in that section of the music. High-light the first clip made, but if it was Sound on Sound instead of Overwrite then no I guess not. If it was you could delete the old clip by marking it and combine the good parts of the former clip with the new clip and make it all one clip at the end again.
     
    In the end, the best is to check out that menu option first and change it to Overwrite or make sure while recording that you change it to the way that you want. I think in mine there is a checkbox to always check before you do anything and Sonar will always ask (in a sense that a computer is just a program and not a real person).
