There's not irrational fear in this. We definitely

play along with yourself, perform the puch-in and

start working on the new song. :)

I guess my (irrational) fear is that a
punchin/punchout will somehow be
obvious to the listener--that either there will be
an abrupt momentary
change in ambience, an abrupt cutting off of
pre-punchin sound as the
punchin occurs, or I'll be in a slightly different
mood and the volume
or performance won't match, etc. think) to hear
punchins in old analog tape recordings, of Van
Cliburn playing the
Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov piano concertos, of an
obscure (but good)
eastern European orchestra playing Stravinsky's
Firebird (there were
*lots* of punchins, some of them very obvious and
awkward, in that
recording), and so my listening experience has made
me wary of punchins.
But, like I mentioned, I'm sure it is an irrational
fear. ;-)
During this recording (for Arabesque 1), I made a
strong note to myself
after recording take after take (dozens of them) to
learn about and
begin to try punchin techniques. I'm especially
interested to learn
whether Ardour automatically creates (or can be
configured to do so)
brief overlapping fadeouts/fadeins at punch points.
I'm sure that this
information is in the (as yet not fully read) Ardour
online manual. ;-)
In fact, I think I'll check that out right now--
Autopunch works. I manually punch everything so how it
works remains a mystery to me but playing along,
punching before and after shouldn't be a challange.

History from a 10 year old: "Beethoven wrote
music
even though
he was deaf. He was so deaf that he wrote loud music
and became
the father of rock and roll. He took long walks in
the forest
even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven
expired in
1827 and later died for this."
