Recording a separate, synced track

Audacity 3 Help Forum
1

I’m trying to add music to a poem narration. I would like the music, recorded after the narration, to be in a separate, synchronized track so that I can manipulate it separately.

What’s happening is that if I don’t mute the narration track, the next track has both music and narration together.

How do I lay in a second, separate track while hearing the first track so that I can play in response to it?

Using Windows, feeding through a Tascam mixer.

Thanks!

Here is a tutorial on overdubbing (which is what you’re doing): Tutorial - Recording Multi-track Overdubs - Audacity Manual
