Hi Louise Not sure I understand what you mean. According to me, I undrstand that you have a backround music or some time call beat, then you want to use it to record you sing. If so, you can do it easily do to the multi trak feature of Audacity. If you have the backround music recorded by someone, just use the import or open on the file menu to load it tinto your project, then press r to record. Audacity will record your voice in a new track. If you want to record you play instrument, just press r to record your first track, then stop, then press r again to record the new track. Remember to check the software playthrough in the transport menu to listen to the recorded track while record new one, such as listening the the accord music wile record you you sing.
