Playback Without Recording

Hi! This is an elementary mistake, I’m sure (I’m new to this), but it’s driving me crazy. I’m putting music behind my voice in my first podcast. I have no idea how to listen to how it turned out without accidentally changing it because the volume settings change as I change the music volume. How can I listen to what I did without recording over it?

If you recorded you voice first, just “Import” the audio files that you want and they will appear in additional tracks below your voice track.
