Maybe I’m missing something. Not sure. I have looked all over the manuals, tutorials and this forum and as far as I can tell you cannot record into an existing track. I am fairly new to digital recording so I am wondering why this is.
I just want to use the track I have open to do new takes on. When recording an instrument or singing, I don’t want to have a new track just pop up. It’s easier to just use an existing track. Since I am no expert, I am wondering what the thinking is behind not having such a feature.
If it’s a matter of “erasing” the take while recording over it, can I not maybe select the wave and erase it, thereby clearing the existing track for new audio?
I don’t want a new track to just pop open every time I do a take. The Append Record feature is not a useful way to record into an existing track as it only lets you record at the end of the track. ?? Why not anywhere inside the track??
I am using windows 8.1, toshiba satellite (cheapo, I know), audacity 2.1.1, .exe installer.
Thanks!
