Audacity Forum

I have an asus laptop with windows 7. I am trying to stream itunes and use an external mic at the same time (record). i can get one or the other to work but not at the same time. is there a way to make this happen? yes with itunes

OK. In English. You want to play an itunes song currently on your computer into your headphones and sing along with it and record the mixture. Did I get that?

Yes, that's called overdubbing, but you can't do it directly from iTunes. You have to move the song into Audacity and then set up the Audacity overdubbing feature.

Let us know.

Does this help?

I was hoping to be able to do it all at once so I could do the podcast live.....

And then upload it to iTunes for people to download

Have a look at IceCast and ShoutCast.
There is a comparison of these two radio servers here: http://forum.internet-radio.com/faq/179 ... erver.html

What you are asking for is "Live Assist" - a feature of radio broadcasting automation systems. Stations record their stingers then assign them to dedicated buttons on a touch screen. The problem is that they are also using a mixer - one channel for the voice, another (stereo) channel for the stingers. So the long answer is that you can do this if you have a mixer, microphone and some audio playback device (such as an iPod or another computer) connected to the mixer that contains the stingers.

The short answer is that if you want to use iTunes (playing on the same computer as is being used to record the microphone) for your stingers then you will have to do post-production.
