I heard about studio punchins in a magazine recently but I'd never actually done it.

They seem better because you can start new lines/verses easier and certain words that would tangle the tounge are easier to lay down on tracks if you split the recording. Vocals come out a lot punchier.

I spat a couple of bars today, first attempt at doing the punchins so looking for any tips producers may have developed.

artist punch in yes.. it sucks i hate having to punch a guy in because he wont practice before he shows up to spend 50$ an hour recording a track. or even better. " can you play this , its the file:.. " no problem yo , what up?" " ooh , i need to write the hook before we start"... im like wtf? seriously? then i gotta punch the dude in because he don't want to rehearse before he shows up. if you tell em to go again , they think your trying to rip them off for time because they are " the best in the city".... its a lazy mans tool. practice untill you can play it in the dark or sing it blind folded in the booth.. thats trying to be the best you can.. One..

Punch-ins never sound 100% completely natural to me. I can always tell when the rapper punched in.
