But let's review using the pointer tool to select a region. Maybe that glitch is happening over a tricky part of the song? You can set a loop with the range tool to rehearse it. This new take is best done in the same session, so all the levels are the same. You can then select and cut the offending region in the original track. If there is no break in the music, and the punch-in just isn't right, try recording just the glitch passage to a new track. One limit to this technique is where there's a sustained sound like a ride cymbal along with the glitch. Arm the track for recording, place the cursor a few measures prior to the punch-in region, and you can safely correct the glitch without affecting the rest of the track. Zoom in to make any fine adjustments to where the recording will start and stop. Two Loop/Punch Range markers will appear in the marker area. Then right-click-hold that highlighted area, and choose 'Set Punch from Range' in the middle of the dropdown menu that will appear. Using the Range tool, highlight the part of the track where the glitch is.

If you have a near-perfect take with one or two glitches, it's possible to set the track to record only a glitch region. Now we'll review some additional features and techniques of recording in Ardour. I hope that you have taken time out from reading this book to experiment with some of the synthesizer plugins and to make at least one short recording, not because it's necessary to move on, but for fun.
