Can I split an aup file while recording a different tape?

[lisany1]

I am recording all my old cassettes onto Audacity. While I'm recording, can I open up an aup file from another recording in order to split those tracks? In other words, can I do both functions at the same time? Thank you.

short answer - no

and if you could you shouldnt
that could mess up recording

the ideal when recordign with a pc
is to cut out all other software that can interfere
not try to run more of it at the same time
