Drop in/out means recording into and out of a selected section while keeping the surrounding material.
Also called: Punch in/out
Level relevance: introduced at Nat 5; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Drop in/out is used to replace a mistake or improve a short section without re-recording the whole take. Accurate timing matters so the new recording joins smoothly with the original material.
