Editing question

True, if you get that perfect take, say on a chorus, don't hesitate to copy and paste for all your choruses (chori?).

Oh no! that takes all the organics out of it!
   
Sing and play every one!

No way!

I'm extremely self conscious about recording my vocals.  I won't do it when anyone else is home.  So when I know my wife is coming home in five minutes, and I've only got one chorus down with which I'm satisfied, then I'm done singing, and it's copy time.

I'm like that too.  My husband has heard me sing to the kids, standing around the corner, and has asked me why I don't sing out loud when he's around.  I couldn't really say, I just have a hard time with that.

I'm self conscious too for recording vox. Do what I do - go and sit in the car in the garage with all the doors closed. The car is quite a good vocal booth and you can belt it out really loud and no-one will see or hear you. The disadvantage is you are sitting down but as i do most of my vox practising when I'm driving, I'm used to it! At least one other person on the site uses the same method.

that's certainly worth a try

Hey, that IS a good idea!  Plus I can lock all the doors to keep my small children from asking mom for stuff for at least a few minutes!

And if you tilt the seat back it takes pressure off the diaphragm as if you're standing.

This is great - It's like the game "Gossip". You guys went from "The teachings of Plato" to "Salad and a baked potato" 

Anyway, I'm guilty of copying and pasting sometimes - that's workable, but I have trouble punching in/out if it's not a full phrase. The end result is usually the equivalent of a Unabomber letter  So I usually make sure there is some form of dead space between the punch.

The auto AB is pretty good for that. You just roll back a few bars before it starts, hit record and play along and it does the punch in and out seamlessly.
