Hi Andrew, and thanks very much for responding. Yes, I've just tried and 2022 works differently in this respect:

With 2019 ("Overdub underlying audio" is un-checked):
- If you record any audio (ex. bars 1-4) and then record again (bars-1-4) you don't hear the previous take while recording > That's expected behaviour > OK

With 2022 ("Overdub underlying audio" is un-checked):
- If you record any audio (ex. bars 1-4) and then record again (bars-1-4), you hear the previous take while recording > Definitely not what I would expect. Why would anyone want to hear a previous (discarded) take when recording a new take? That makes re-recording a new take a nearly impossible task. What's more, punch-in recording is also nearly unusable, since (again) hearing the previous take while you're trying to record a new one is really, really confusing.

I'm sure I'm missing something, and probably there's a reason for that design change, but honestly, I find it kind of weird and counterintuitive, and I don't know of any other audio program behaving that way. May I ask why this has changed?

(Of course there are workarounds, it's just that I can't see the logic behind that design change.)

Thanks!
