David, not sure whether the following helps. You can certainly playback
through a different card than the one used for recording. Either under Devices
in Preferences or on the toopbar at the top of the main windows
(control-shift-f6).

Thanks David.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a seprate “Pass Through” device under the Devices
in Properties?
I often have two or three audio devices plugged in at once. The more
configuration options the better!
Best,
David

Hi David,
software playthrough always uses the playback device.
An example of it's use is if you're recording from a turntable or tape deck
which is connected to the computer using a usb cable, then with software
playthough enabled, you can listen to what is being recorded from the turntable
or tape deck. On Windows, an alternative would be to check the "listen to this
device" check box, which is on the listen tab of the recording device's
properties.
David.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever used the software playthrough feature
successfully. It’s always been recorded... sometimes it is really neat – a
special type of echo/delay. Most of the time, though, it duplicates the track
and adds to the volume.
Is there a way to only have the software playthrough come through a specific
device, or does it always come through the devices->interface Host>Playback
device?
Peace,
David

Yes, my bad (frown). Importantly, for what Claire wants to do, default
settings are correct.

Hi Andrew,
when you say "please disregard suggestions to turn on overdub", I presume you
mean playthrough? (smile),
David.

Hi Claire
Please disregard suggestions to turn on overdub. As David B mentioned, it is
not necessary for what you are wanting to do. As David E said, pressing r will
create a track if none exist and start recording on it. Pressing r again will
append to that track. Pressing shift-r will create a second, third, fourth etc
track and start recording on that freshly created track.
Importantly, when you start recording on a second track, by default you will
hear what you recorded on the first track. As Ted suggested, headphones will
be necessary to avoid a jumbled mess.
For your current project, import the music into Audacity. Then move by
whatever means you choose to the point where you want to start recording your
voice. At that point, press shift-r to start recording. You will hear the
music while you record. It will pull down the level of the music as you talk.
Or you may prefer to adjust levels – depends on the effect you want.
A couple of other useful commands to keep in mind. Shift-s solos the current
track (plays it and no others). Shift-u mutes the current track.
Happy podcasting.
Andrew
One Audacity feature you may find useful in this situation is Autoducking under
the effects menu.

Hi, i'm really confused, how can I check if overdub is on, both my
screenreaders, I use NVDA and Jaws don't tell me. When I go to load the track
and press r then n nothing at all happens.
