I use Adobe Audition for recording, and whenever I need to do a punch in I need to find an area with a bit of silence to allow me to punch in cleanly. I was working with a drummer a few weeks ago who was surprised that I couldn't punch in his drums after completing a perfect verse but screwing up the chorus.
My position is that drums usually don't have silent areas that allow for punch ins. The cymbal will usually be ringing purposely through a pause or there is no pause at all between sections in a song. He said when he recorded at a pro studio he was able to do half a song and screw up, then just immediately recut but keeping the good parts of the original recording without any noticeable difference in the final track.
How is this done? Was the engineer recording two tracks in pro tools and then splicing them together using crossfades.
I could REALLY use this technique for doing difficult drum tracks on prerecorded songs. Sometimes it's just impossible to get through a really complex song on drums without a timing issue, clip, or something causing a problem.
