If you want to 'replace' part of the first track, you can use "Split
Delete" to remove that part that you want to replace, then record on
the second track to fill the gap.
If you want to "insert" new audio, then you need to insert some
silence into the first track at the point where you wish to insert the
new audio. There are two ways that you can insert a gap into the first
track:
1) You can place the cursor at the relevant point and then generate
some silence (from the "Generate" menu).
2) You can place the cursor at the relevant point and then select to
the end of the track (Shift + End), Cut the selected portion (Ctrl +
X), move the cursor to the end of the desired gap, and paste (Ctr +
V).
After making the gap, record the new part on the second track.
A variation on this second method is to cut the part that you want to
be after the new material, then record the new material with "Append
Record", then paste the audio that you cut on the end of the new
recording.

Steve, I think I have missed something. that doesn't resolve the issue if I
understand correctly. Material recorded on the second track is not inserted
between existing material on the first track, it overlaps. In fact I get the
same result whether I use Record or Append Record (r and shift-r
respectively).

Rather than recording into the middle of an existing track, create a new
audio track, set the cursor position to where you want recording to start and
record into the new track using "Append Record". On Export, all tracks are
mixed down into a single audio file,

Sorry, but there's no punch-in or record into time selection feature

Hello,
How can I record Audio the middle of a track in audacity. I know that
I can use the append record feature, shift + r, but this will insert
my recorded audio to the end of the currently focused track. But what
if I want to record some audio at the beginning of it or at the
middle? Is there an easy way to do it, instead of recording to a new
track and then copy paste the new audio to the required position?
