It may not be optional. You have to conform to their submission structure.

I have all my my stuff plugged in correctly. Which stuff? We have to build your studio in our heads to unscramble your problems. Microphone? Interface, if any? Still I can’t hear myself record or the beat playing. So right there, you're probably wanting to overdub, right?. Sing or play to a backing...

It happens on Skype. I was able to get away with a good recording because I wasn't recording anything on the Skype machine (on the right).

I moved your post to the generic Windows forum. It's closer than where you were. saw it was recording audio and thought nothing of it. Right there you scratch your microphone and see if the meters and blue waves jump. Never blow into a microphone. You would have known there was something wrong inst...

They don't put a blanket or padding on the bottom. There should only be one unpadded surface and that's the opening for...

Please note that light, fluffy duvets need not apply. Heavy blankets, carpets, etc. are called for. As it says in the description, each of my moving blankets is heavy. The pads are 72" by 80". They're heavy. Each of mine weighs 17 lbs. Lighter is not good. We're not after comfort or low sh...

You can force this to work the way you want it to, but not in email. You can Zip an Audacity multi-track Project (AUP file and _DATA folder) into one file and exchange that via a file-sharing service.

Have you actually tried the overdubbing thing? There are some tricks to it. A frequent complaint on the forum is getting stuck recording both the backing tack and the new work mixed on to the new track. You can't fix that in post production, so you have to get this right when you perform. https://ma...
