synchronization

Hi All,

This is my first time using Audacity, I open an MP3 with a percussion mix and record my guitar along with it in overdub mode. But when I play it back they are not in sync - the guitar lags by a bit. What am I doing wrong? I do start at the very beginning of the track.

Thanks for your help!

Not easy to give a brief answer to this one. This tutorial will hopefully guide you in the right direction: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_multi_track_overdubs.html

Wow I had no idea it was this involved! Hahaha. Thanks for the pointers!
