A complete novice!

Hello!
Im a bit of a Luddite when it comes to digital recording (well, anything to do with computers really!) so hopefully you'll indulge me?
I've recorded a drum track but when I try to record a bass/guitar track over it I can't find a way to hear the the original (drum) track, which makes timing a bit tricky to say the least!
This is probably dealt with in the FAQs but Im buggered if I can find it.
Thanks folks!

Switch on "Play other tracks while recording new one" (Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O)
