Hello, I’m trying to record Vocals in Audacity, but when I press record it Starts my recording in a new audio track (Which is what i want) but at the of the Previous Audio track, that being the track I want in the background to hear while I record my vocals. I’ve been trying for hours to figure this out and I just can’t, I’ve been through google. the preferences in audacity i even tried uninstalling and re-installing and in the hopes it might do something I restarted my computer but still nothing.
If anyone knows a solution please help me out as its driving me crazy and I now only have 2 weeks to finish this project
Which exact version of Audacity are you using? (look in “Help menu > About Audacity”)
There was a change in the default recording behaviour in recent versions of Audacity. The following applies to the current Audacity 2.3.2 version (available here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/) with default settings.
Record the first track (click the record button or press “R”)
