Question,,new to Audacity..

Post by George Hendrickson » Fri Jan 19, 2018 4:07 pm

I'm trying to overdub onto an mp3 file onto Audacity,,,purchased a microphone that plugs into my laptop,,and can see it's recording,,but cannot hear the song ive downloaded to reference,,As soon as i hit "record".
I'm using earbuds to hear playback,but not hearing my voice..
Went to audio playback,after plugging in earbuds,but does not reflect "earbuds" as a source...
Any help really appreciated...
Thank you,
George

See Audacity preferences, tick the "overdub" box...
