Re: Trying to do a multitrack recording

Yes wearing headphones. Overdubbing isn't the problem, it's overdubbing okay. My problem is I don't want it to! I'm just trying to get a guitar track and a separate vocal track but it seems to me you have to have the 2nd track overdubbing the first. I'd have thought it would be a basic function of a...

Re: Trying to do a multitrack recording

I've now looked under edit-devices-recording in Audacity and it's set to external microphone.

Re: Trying to do a multitrack recording

My only two options are 'external microphone' and 'sound mapper'.

I've got it set at 'external microphone' as I'm recording into the 3.5mm microphone jack of the laptop from a mixer.

Re: Trying to do a multitrack recording

Thanks for your help but can I have a guitar track and seperately, a vocal track on Audacity. All I'm wanting to do is lay down a guitar track then listen to it on headphones as I lay down a vocal track?

Trying to do a multitrack recording

Is there an option in Audacity 2.0.3 to "Play other tracks while recording new one"?

I don't want to overdub. I want to hear my guitar track as I sing on the next track?

Any help greatly appreciated.
