Audacity Forum

I want to do a short radio show for a sports league I'm in. What I'm trying to accomplish is this...

1. Record my show
2. Lay an mp3 clip on a loop behind my show for effect...but not to drown out the show itself.

I can record the show
I can put in the mp3 clip

I'm not sure how to:
1. Loop the mp3 clip to last for the duration of the show
2. Fade out the mp3 level so it's muted and a background sound behind the speaking part of the show

Hope that's clear. I just downloaded this today at a friends suggestion so still playing with it. Thanks in advance for any help.

The MP3 clip should be imported (into a new track) - "File menu > Import > Audio"
With the MP3 Clip track selected "Effect menu > Repeat" and enter the number of repeats required.

Use the volume slider on the left side of the track, or "View menu > Mixer Board". (the mixer board is linked to the track sliders, so both methods produce exactly the same result).
