simple audacity question

with the first track open in the audacity window just hit the record button and it will pop up a new track and start recording

its too late, i was in the zone, my parents arrived, so that means no more noise

thx for the help teleplayer but i am asking, while i record a 2nd track, i need the first track i previously reocrded to play also, so i can hear it and keep track

Right, you have the first track there, you hit record, a second track appears that you record on while the first track plays. The first track remains untouched, only the second track is recorded on. If you add a third the first 2 play and remain untouched while you record on the third. Ect. Ect.

Tele, how many tracks can you record with audacity?

I don't know, I'm using calkwalk.

Not really sure but when I first downloaded it I was messing around and had 8 tracks recorded before my wife yelled that the lawn needed mowing :lol:

I know what you mean. When in audacity, hit control-p. Check the box for "play other tracks while recording new one".

thanks rollin rock, and i thank teleplayer for your effort, but rollinrock understood what i meant

thank you to all, ill try to post it soon enough

lookin forward to hearin it.

Will you also hear the track you're recording as you're recording it? Or do you need another command shortcut to get that to happen?

You can select that to happen, although I don't think there would really be a need for it. That option is right underneath the other one.
