Hi russ92069@mac.com and welcome to our community
Are you narrating as you record? If so, you may wish to try
clicking Edit > Preferences... > Recording node > Settings
node and enable the option labeled "Record actions in real time"
and see if that changes things.
Normally most of us here feel that adding narration after you
record the process is the most efficient way to do things. When I
think of this, I figure that's the exact reason that when film
makers are creating movies, they add the audio sound track
separately. But if recording narration as you work through the
process is the way you like to work, feel free to continue.
Everyone works in different ways.
Cheers... Rick
