For particularly important or difficult sections, you can punch in multiple takes, and then select or edit takes to
create the best performance. Adobe Audition saves two seconds of audio on either side of a punch-in range, so you
can seamlessly edit and crossfade takes. (See “Display, remove, or play hidden clips” on page 195.)
Note: You can't punch into a loop-enabled clip. For information about disabling loops, see “Override original loop
properties” on page 222.
