It has to play your backing track(s) exactly perfectly and record the new track also exactly perfectly. I think most of this is still accurate, but I need to go back in and make that track selection change. You can overdub without that, but it’s a lot trickier and most performers want to hear themselves, plus it helps with automatic volume when you can hear yourself. Push the Direct Monitor button on the front for Zero Latency Monitoring so I can listen to both sides of the recording at the same time. That’s an AKG public address (Tannoy) microphone and the cheap headphones I picked up in Hawaii all plugged into a Behringer UM2. This is the whole setup for my performance. Your device or microphone has to support Zero Latency Monitoring. Note you can’t plug headphones into the computer to do this. Keep adjusting and recording until the two clicks line up. The difference between the two tracks is your Recording Latency Adjustment.Īudacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices > Latency: Track shift > OK.Īdjust that value by the number Audacity gave you when you compared the two metronome tracks. Jam your headphones against the microphone so the metronome gets recorded. Press record and your microphone should activate and push the sound into your headphones. Select the metronome track by clicking just right of the up arrow.
Now go back to Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording and select Other tracks…Overdubbing > OK.īack to the timeline. Once you set up for overdubbing it’s killer difficult to start troubleshooting your sound system. To paraphrase the overdubbing tutorial, make darn sure you can make a plain recording perfectly before you start overdubbing. If you’re on Windows make sure all your conferencing and voice processing is turned off. The quality of the sound is also much worse. I’m using a Behringer UM2, so my sound device is USB Audio CODEC for both. I don’t think you used to have to do that.Īnyway, make sure you have your device selected for both playback and record in the Audacity device toolbar. Needing to select the backing track did catch me off guard.
