Why Not Recording On A Track I Added?

Post by catbeasy » Thu Mar 03, 2011 8:37 pm

New to Audacity..

So, I clicked on Project-->New Audo Track and it added a track. Then when I hit record, it created a new track and started recording on that track! Why didn't it record on the track that I added?

Thanks for any help..

Some multi-track audio programs require that you create a new track before recording. Audacity doesn't. If for some reason you need Audacity to record on a track that has already been created you can use "Append Record". http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Play ... _Recording
