I can not even imagine how that would be without this feature. Very nice
to hear back as a return channel what I am recording for a very
important number of reasons, the main one being the ability to see how I
am sounding in the recording in real time to make adjustments and the
other among many being the ability to listen my voice over background
tracks when doing kind of live recordings.

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.
