I have a rhythm section track recorded. I am trying to add vocals in a second track. When I click Shift-R, it indicates that it is recording, but the rhythm section track does not start playing. What am I missing? How do I get the original track to start playing so I can sing along on the new track?
Ensure that “Transport menu > Transport Options > Hear other tracks during recording” is enabled.
Yes, that is enabled.
Can you see the new audio being recorded into a new track?
Which operating system are you using?
What is set in Audacity as the playback device?
What are you recording from?
Yes, that was it! (What are you recording from?) The issue was that my recording device wasn’t set up properly. Once I fixed that, everything worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
