How to multitrack/overdub

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

I’m just starting with this, please help. I’m using a Mooer GE150 as my USB interface. I recorded a drum track from it in stereo, so far so good. when I tried to record a bass track it kept going to the end of the drum track to start recording. I found out about holding shift and pressing record to get another track to record on from the beginning of the piece.

My problem is now that the drum track is being recorded along with the bass on the new track. This is happening with the new track in stereo as well as mono recording channel mode.

Is there a step I’m missing?

Thanks.

Make sure to select the USB device as your [u]Recording Device[/u] and it should record only that device. (If you use loopback or Stereo Mix you’ll record everything coming-out of the soundcard.)
