You need an ASIO build of Audacity to do more than 2 tracks at once in
Audacity. If you are software engineering savvy you can do that. The Audacity
wiki can walk you through how to setup your machine to build your own version
of Audacity.
I do have an m-audio delta 1010 that has WDM drivers for Windows XP that can
see all of the inputs at once, but it’s an old OS and requires a large PCI port
in your computer to use it.
I also use this UMC404 from Behringer as an input device in Reaper and that
works great for multiple track recording. The UI is more difficult to learn
(IMO) but is super powerful. Get it at reaper.fm and join the reapers without
peepers list for help if you are willing to attack a new learning curve.
Peace,
David

Hi Dave do you know of any that can do 4 tracks at the same time my Presonus
shows up as an option input it combines the tracks as for example Mic/Inst/Line
in 1/2 (2-Studio
Also shows as ADT in SPDIF in and Virtural I have not been able to get it to do
4 tracks simultaneously.
I have some older multi track tapes that I was digitizing to audiocity what I
had to do is record them in studio one with the same amount of silence first on
each track then mix them separately and then inport them all at once in
Audacity.
The tape recorder is playing like Alvin and the chipmunks it's very easy to fix
in Audacity by the effect change speed where as you may know studio one it's
very complicated due to it wants to set tempo etc.

The Behringer Euphoria for 39 bucks is a steal. I have the 4 track version and
like it a lot. It was 99.
You probably only need the 2 tracks since you just want to record a vocal track
over your music. They both have combination XLR and 1/4” inputs. The
headphone output is 1/4” so you’ll need a 1/8” to 1/4” adapter if your
headphones have a 1/8” plug.
I also have the Presonus AudioBox but it’s not worth the extra cost if you’re
looking for simple 2 track recordings.

Hey Marissa
Here is what I got on this and some quick research results.
Behringer UM2 U-PHORIA USB Audio Interface
$39.99
Presonus AUDIOBOX USB Audio Interface
79.00
Presonus AudioBox USB 96 2x2 USB Recording System
99.95
A great choice for mobile musicians and podcasters, the 2-channel AudioBox USB
96 is bus-powered, compact, ruggedly built, and works with virtually any PC or
Mac recording software. It boasts high-performance Class A mic preamplifiers
and professional-quality, 24-bit, 96 kHz converters. And it comes with
PreSonus’ Studio One 3 Artist DAW
Note Audacity does not to my knowledge support Daw so if you use Studio one
which is a very complex program you may not be able to import them as daw you
can do as I do and inport them as wave after mixing each track down to wave in
studio one that is the work around I was speaking of.
You maybe able to get a cheaper one without the Studio one package
I have a PresSonus interface and I am very happy with it. It has all the
abobve USB XRL it can take ¼ . To do 1/8 you would need an adapter as well if
you want to use a 1/8 headset the headset is ¼ female it does midi RC and Adadt
also has a multi port that does both XRL and ¼
And I just tried it on Audacity it does show up in mike and speakers choices in
Audacity however it also depends on your PC and/or sound card.
Here is a link to a audacity forum that speaks in that and it also mentions
with multi tracking at the same time which Dave had said in a prior post.
Audacity does not support ASIO drivers (due to licensing restrictions) so if
you get an ASIO sound card, make sure that it has alternative drivers (for
Windows these are usually called WDM drivers)
What happens is I can do up to 2 lines in at the same time on a stereo track.
Left side is one channel right being the other. I also can or have to if I do
one at a time split the stereo channel so I can then pan left or right separate
to each channel.
What I am not able to do is more then 2 at a time that’s why I was looking at
the others mentioned and had a same question what one can do multi tracks in
Audacity particularly 4 tracks.
Its important to verify with that any interface you get will work with Audacity
and/or your PC laptop etc.
See link below a similar question was asked on another Audacity forum

Hey guys, so Iam trying to record, so I’m wondering if there are audio
interfaces available for lowcost, with either a quarter inch adapter one, or an
XLR one. And Ineed a spot with a 3.5 mm jack for headphones. This would be for
a mic, but I could also use one for line-in for my keyboard 3.5mm jack as well.
This would go in to a USB of my Windows computer. I have the latest version of
audacity. As cheap as possible, but still good.
