I routinely record several minutes of room noise prior to a recording to have the normal background available for adding into recording punch in's that may be recorded at a different time with different settings in order to blend the new recordings with older takes more seamlessly.

In Biab, I also record two or more different instruments on the same track using F5 to alternate the two instruments playing. I will include a solo on a vocal track during the instrumental break. Old habits retained from the many years I recorded with 4 track and stereo recorders. I have had some version of a home recording studio continously since 1968. I recall using high quality VCR's to bounce 4 tracks to stereo or a mono track and feeding that back into the porta studio freeing up some 4 track recorder tracks to add addition songs and mixing that down to a final stereo mix.
