Audio Punch-in Tool Features
You can use the Audio Punch-in tool to record voice-over narration directly into the Timeline.
However, you can only record to mono tracks when you use the Audio Punch-In tool.
You can “rehearse” the voice-over while listening to the sequence. The voice-over is not
recorded while you rehearse. You can continue to rehearse until you get it right. While recording,
you can watch and listen to the sequence and hear the playback of edited sound tracks.
