Audacity Forum

Great! I am using 1.3.12 on XP pro as I start out in the world of Audacity.

happy to explain: 1. recording a guitar track. Done. 2. play the guitar track while singing along. done. 3. going to the mixer to get the levels right between guitar and vocal tracks. I did this once yesterday but I didn't really know what I was doing. What I needed to do was to make the guitar trac...

PS I use Windows XP pro SP3.
