Hi all, now I'm more confused than before! Some of you are saying one thing and
others another, what exactly, in simple steps, do I need to do? And what on
earth is this playthrough thing and overdub?

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

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.

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.
