Audacity Forum

Does the new version allow you to monitor(listen to) the tracks you have already recorded while you record new parts.

IE. so I can make bass guitar parts time in with the pre-recorded normal guitar parts properly?

I think they will both do that. Audacity Preferences > Audio I/O > 'Play tracks while recording new ones.' You may need to mess around inside the Windows Control Panels a bit, too.

You're very next posting is going to be, "How can I avoid the delay when the track plays?" That's called latency and you can adjust that in the same pane.
