I have recorded a vocal part of a song and hope to be able to play it back while playing and recording an instrumental as I hear it through headphones. Is that possible or do I have to record the instrumental separately and blend the vocal and instrumental electronically? (PS-I’m not good enough to sing and play at the same time and using Quantum PS2 as the interface and the salesman said I could not record 2 tracks simultaneously).
Recording Multi-track Overdubs
…Normally you record the backing track first. I hope your pitch it good!
Thank you. Is there a way to play the recorded instrumental through headsets and sing/record the vocal to make sure the vocal is synced with the instrumental in tempo and pitch?
Short answer is Yes. Longer answer depends a little bit on what all you have set up for speakers and which menus are open. If you open the Audio Setup menu you will see buttons for Mics, Speakers, Mono/Stereo etc. (I have options from my Video Monitor, Monitor Speakers, Audio Interface, etc.) I use the headphones connected to my Audio Interface so I select the interface as my Speakers when I want to use phones such as recording so I can hear the playback but I want the track I am recording to be clean.
