Record 2nd track while playing first?

I have recorded an instrumental track. Can I now record a vocal track while playing the instrumental?

Also, why do Edit menu items get grayed out at times?

The tools can go gray if you Pause instead of Stop your playback. Audacity will not do very much in real time -- during playback.

Someone wrote a piece about overdubbing -- sound over sound. This is me looking for it...

It's actually wrong for Macs. Your settings are in Go > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.

Keeping the instructions correct is very much like housekeeping. Never done.

Thanks for your help. Everything works fine now (as you would expect).
