Playing a track through headphones, while recording another.

[Kieransmusic]

First of all, Merry Christmas!!

I got a tascam thingy with cubase, but decided to use audacity instead for the simplicity of it, fantastic program! Just a small problem though, something entirely newbish.

After recording one track i would like to record another track alongside it, is there a way to record this second track while listening back to the first track through headphones? I'm sure im missing something obvious, and its probably an effect of the beer, but i cant seem to suss it out.

Any help would be awesome. TA!

"Edit -> Preferences -> Audio I/O"

Tick the box "Play other tracks while recording new one"
(leave the other check box unticked).

Thank you kindly, i had a feeling it would be something simple like that, i guess i just didnt look hard enough.
