Hi David,
if you use the Windows listen to this device option which I've mentioned as
an alternative to Audacity's play through, then you can select which
playback device this is sent to.
(In the Windows sound dialog, if you open the properties of a recording
device, then on the listen tab, there is both a "listen to this device"
checkbox, and a "playback through this device" combo box.)
David.

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.

Turn on overdub (I think it's in the transport mccu). This allows you to
listen to a track while recording on top of it. Wear earphones to listen
for best results. Once you press R to record with the file you want to
listen to loaded, press N for "new track" and press space bar to play the
track. You may speak when you need to.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Recording and listening at the same time
Hi all, I have yet another question for you all. I have a music track
which I need to use, but I need to record some speech over it, this is to
create a podcast intro, does anyone know if it is possible for me to hear
the music track while recording my speech? the speech will not need to
start until around the middle of the track. Thank you in advance.
