Record with headphones so Audacity will play back the song in
your headphones and you will sing along.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Recording songs
In the older versions of Audacity, if you sang along with a
karaoke track,
you would first import the track, then create a new track which
would become
track 2, and start recording. As the recording started, Audacity
would
automatically create a track 3, which would be the mix of tracks
1 and 2. In
the newer versions of Audacity, if you record with overdubbing
and choose to
record as a new track, when the recording is finished and you
play it back,
you discover that Audacity recorded your singing and also the
instrumental
track as it was being played back during your singing. So, now
you have a
secondary instrumental track in the mix. How do you avoid it? If
I were to
choose to append to existing track instead of new track, or if I
turned off
overdubbing, I would not hear the instrumental track at all, so I
would be
unable to follow along. But if I overdub, the overdubbing is
recorded onto
the new track.
