Recording: 1 Mic + PC Sound to different Tracks

I want the mic input to be on one track, and the other wavs and mp3s I play from a soundboard (so far I have found PodProducer), to go on a second track. When going through the tutorials and faqs, I always came to multi-Track recording… but the descriptions where for soundcards that let you plug in different sound sources.

You want the Snowball on one track and sounds that the computer plays on another? Audacity cannot this, but there is another free program that can - Kristal Audio Engine.

There is one limitation, though, you’ll not be able to listen to the sound from the microphone as you record. Kristal is a good recorder, but has limited editing capacity, so record with Kristal and edit in Audacity.
We had a thread not long ago discussing your situation. Recording mic/stereo mix at the same time

You have to be able to hear the audio effects, stingers, beds, bumpers and interstitials without interfering with the voices and without feedback.

Koz speaks the truth. No speakers, everyone should use headphones.
