Loop Recording For Multiple Takes

I am tracking drums in a mulitrack session in Adobe Audition. I'm playing to a scratch track already recorded in Audition on a track that's NOT armed. How do I get the transport to keep playing the scrtach track over and over so I can doo multiple takes of the song. The takes would stack up on top of each other with each take. Then I can edit with the razor tool to reveal previous takes below? How do I record with the Playback Loop button on?

Not sure if anyone is still reading this thread, but I thought I would chime in.

When Adobe first acquired Audition, it did have the ability to do multiple take loop recording. For some reason the killed Audition, released Sound Booth for a short time and brought back Audition without this feature.

I understand Adobe doesn't target music creators specifically, but this feature would help the folks they do target a great deal. That is to say, movie makers who need to do VO and ADR.

Don't know what Adobe is thinking, but so many other DAWs have this feature. Even the free Apple Garageband.

Hope someone from Adobe reads this and takes it to heart. If this was the only feature you added in the next release, you would be making a lot of Adobe users very happy and gain their support indefinitely.

This really needs to be implemented - it's a major ommission

Strange that this isn't in current Audition versions, I have done this in Audition 3 & belive it was also in Audition 1.5 (been a long time since I used that version)

Has the ability to do exactly this been added to newer versions (2024 is current as of this post)? I see punch and roll has been added but does the function allow for exactly the process op is describing?

I haven't tried it, but I don't believe that it has been altered at all.

You are right man. I found that out the hard way. [Sensless, rude and incorrect content removed - Mod] Rather then fix their software and add some useful features, they tell you to shut up. It's like the censorship on Facebook and Twitter.

Let's just address the issue here. Punch-in recording has been a bone of contention for years, and it's only relatively recently that it has been seriously looked at at all. It may well be that it's not complete yet, and indeed that's an easy argument to make. It almost does what you want - you can make a loop playing one track and by stopping and using the 'return playhead to start position' option (right-click on Play button) you can go back and make another take (right-click on Record button for Punch and roll option).

What doesn't happen is that the loop button has no option for record looping - which is essentially what you want it to do, and that could indeed be regarded as a justifiable feature.

If you want a feature like that added, then what you don't do is slag off everybody who might be able to help you, and the company providing the software. What you do do is explain what you are trying to do, and submit it as a feature request/update. In life in general, throwing all your toys out of the pram gets you nowhere. Except - no toys. If you wish to create a feature request, then the place to do that is here. Please note carefully the posting advice. Exactly what you are asking for is in my previous paragraph.
