overdubbing troubles

Post by justincredible » Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:18 pm

I will have one track that i import that has an instrumental on it. After i import it and change preferences to allow it to play while recording with a usb mic for vocals, the tracks pause if there is any silence. As long is there is audio going through the mic , it records. As soon as you take a breath, the pause button pushes in and stops the tracks until you make vocals again. Am i doing something wrong? Do i not have something configured properly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have to disable "Sound Activated Recording" from the Transport Menu.
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).
