There is a tutorial here for making a simple voice and music podcast http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Creat ... h_Audacity
The method for recording vocals over a beat is basically the same as described in that tutorial.

i dnt get it itz too confusing
can anyone explain it to me in brief?

[whomper]

the tutorial is as brief as it can be and still tell you anything

if it is too long then maybe you dont have eough time to mess with recording anything

In brief:

1) Import the "beat" track into Audacity.
2) Record the vocal track
3) Export as an audio file (for example as a WAV file).

If you get stuck you will need to describe what parts you have managed to do and at what point you get stuck.

If you can't understand the tutorials what can we possibly tell you that will be any different?

If you understand better with a visual explanation search youtube for audacity tutorials... I'm pretty sure you shall find plenty!

There are a load of Audacity tutorials on the web - not provided by Audacity team - some are good some are iffy.

See this page from the Audacity Wiki for links: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Categ ... on_the_web

thanks 4 your help people

1 last thing do yu no how to seperate the vocal off a song cn you actually do that??

[whomper]

short answer no - unless you have the voice on one track and the music on the other one

if you have the budget of the cia or can print money like the feds
you might be able to get close enough for govt work though

stand by her on the forum
maybe someone will tell you how to do it - sometimes - depending
sort of - maybe - if you have a stereo recording with the voice absolutely centered

if you have realtek sound card they have a karoke feature
that will rip that voice out of the track for you

there are some commercial programs that claim to do it but is ti
worth spending money to see if they really can do it?

faster easier better cheaper to find a recording with the music and no voice to start with ( or the voice with no music depending which way you want )
