Playback of added tracks

Post by rlvitt » Sun Feb 12, 2012 11:51 pm

The latency of music I play onto Audacity drives me nuts. It throws my timing all off. Adjusting the latency is next to worthless. How can I listen to the original track I am recording with, without hearing me play my own music during that process? Thanks. rlvitt at yahoo dot com

It's a bad idea to post your email address on a public forum as it will tend to attract lots of spam to your e-mail account. Also, we do not offer e-mail support.

In the Transport menu, turn off (deselect) "Software Playthrough".
