How to Record a Song in Audacity | Overdubbing Basics

[@demonicsweaters]

Here's the answer the the question you're going to ask me next demonicsweaters.com/2020/04/hearing-yourself-without-delay-while-recording/

[@antonysajij]

When I record a multi track and I try to overdub vocals over a guitar how do I avoid the Guitar being recorded again along with vocals this create extra noise

[@Notarubi]

@@antonysajij I'm running into the same problem. Anyone have an answer?

[@Kilzu1]

​@@Notarubi All mixers have one key difference to audio interfaces: They do not have input monitoring function and all sources (including USB or any other digital source) is routed to main mix, now depending on what mixer you have, it might have fancy feature which allows you to route USB playback and / or different inputs to different outputs So to hear playback sound only on headphones and prevent it being recorded, your mixer must have button which removes or includes USB playback to main mix (you can't listen anything thru main outputs, without it being recorded as well) or you need to select other than mixers main output as playback source either by switching to mixers different output, using virtual sound mixer or using entirely different device to playback the recording. Read the manual of your mixer, since function in question has many different labels and also differs hugely. Some mixers have a button which includes USB playback to main mix. Some have button which includes playback to main mix and also a button which mutes playback on headphones or monitors but won't mute recording of it. Some mixers only record whatever is played to main outs and you just need to select different outputs Plain mixer won't be able to route playback at all or it's done by connecting physical input and it's dedicated output channel directly to your computers sound card and you need to use computers sound card as recording device.

[@bigkerm100]

Do you have a video on how to track a mix made on Serato DJ Pro so I can put it on a CD ?

[@jamjar20049]

Use closed back headphones to listen to whatever you are recording, that should minimise guitar bleeding through to your vocal.

[@PotatoBrain174]

In 2020, the Click Track is now called the Rhythm Track (in case others in 2020 are watching this video) :D

[@graxjpg]

Me too!!

[@eyetalic]

Great tutorial. Even the screw ups (shrinking the bass loop and not being able to lose the click track) were useful to help know the nuts and bolts of the program. This will really help get me started. I'm gonna have to look at that latency video, though.

[@myrio1]

Did you not notice that the click track is being recorded with your bass tack? Look at the first 4 beats before you start playing your bass.

[@7hecu77er]

To avoid re-recording any previous tracks onto the new tracks, use some headphones so you can hear the existing click and other tracks, and you only record what you are playing - not what you are hearing.

[@elespectro]

-i run all my equipment thru a mixer and the run out of the mixer into audacity. -i have to record with headphones on cuz my roomates sleep in the daytime -i could record one track, and listen to it thru the headphone out on my laptop, but i wouldnt be able to hear myself playing the new track. -or i could listen to what im playing but i wouldnt be able to monitor the old track -when i record a second track thru my mixer, it of course records the previous tracks onto the new track and gets muddy and gains out - what do i do?!?! (besides move out)

[@demonicsweaters]

If it’s one of those mixers with USB, it could be a limitation of the mixer. I have one like that was well which makes it impossible to overdub. I have to use my behringer interface.

[@elespectro]

Very helpful video 😁

[@sgrimm7346]

Ok, good video... So is it possible to record separate tracks (as you did) but playback those tracks individually? For ex: I record rhythm guitar on one track, bass on track 2 and lead on track three...but I want to hear them individually and not "overdubbed" during playback, so I can go back and hear ,say, only the lead without the other instruments playing in the background so that I may lay down a different lead track. I'm beginning to think Audacity can't do this. I end up with the problem you had trying to mute the click track, you couldn't because it recorded onto the other tracks as well. Any information is welcome, thank you.

[@demonicsweaters]

sure, just mute what you don't want to hear!

[@sbbinahee]

[@BreezyBlock]

Thanks. I'm only trying to record some demos. Given up on using a click track on them anyway.

[@lollllloro]

Why did you give up on using a click track? The problem you were experiencing was due to misinterpretation of what happened in the video, he just happened to hover the cursor on the play button before clicking record. And to Carl McLean, please do not advertise your commercial software, especially on a video that specifically instructs people to use a specific non-commercial alternative.

[@hariharang4954]

If you plugged your bass directly into the line-in on your interface, and you set the mic to record from your interface, why is the click track also recorded on your bass track?

I want other tracks to be recorded separately though I play other tracks while recording is there any way

[@ivankovicmile]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. Say I have a recording of counting from zero to hundred without breaks (or with very short breaks) between the numbers and I would like to make from it a file which would teach somebody how to count from zero to hundred. I would insert between each number a slot of silence which would be of the same length as the recording of respective number. I would do it by selecting zero, generating the silence in its duration by cmd+L, copying that slot of silence (cmd+c), undoing the zero (cmd+z), moving the cursor to the right end of the zero selection by the right arrow, pasting the silence (cmd+v) and moving the cursor to the right end of the silence by the right arrow. Then, repeat the same 100x. Is there a faster and simpler way to do such a recording?

Hi Justin, I have just sent you an email with this same message. I hope you might be able to help me out. Thanks a lot. My name is John. I a English from London but I live in Japan as I am an English Teacher here. I am sorry to bother you with my query but after watching your youtube channel about using Audacity which was very interested and I immediately thought that you would be the ideal person to ask some advice about what I am trying to do using Audacity. I am trying to record music from my home HiFi into my iMac Desktop computer and convert lots of Minidiscs and Cassette tapes into mp3 or other Audio types for which I have other software to do that. But my main question and problems are relating to the recoding levels and volumes to be use with Audacity to convert the music to digital. I did hear from someone that I would need to increase the volume on my HiFi in order for Audacity to pick up the sound. But I am very confused as to what volume level I should be using on my HiFi and what Input levels I should be using in Audacity. I have tried to make some recordings and they are not so bad but I have noticed that after the recordings have been done I can hear a kind of humming noise on the recordings just before the music starts. I think it could be because I am not using the correct levels of volumes on either Audacity or my HiFi. I am sending you a couple of screenshots so that you can see what I am confused about. I would be truly grateful if you could please put me in the right direction with your expertise and knowledge on the use of Audacity. I look forward to hear from you. Many thanks and my best regards.

Hey, I just purchased a Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD and downloaded Audacity to record music stuff. I'm running into a problem when I try to record over another track with the speaker option as the Behringer unit (so I can listen through the unit headphone output). I keep receiving the latency error message (latency correction setting has caused the recorded audio to be hidden before zero....) when I hit the record button. This doesn't happen when I set the speaker output on Audacity to my laptop speakers. I am also receiving the same error message when I try to record to a click track, while using the Behringer headphone jack. Any thoughts on why this is occurring?

[@demonicsweaters]

I'm so sorry, youtube marked this comment as spam and I never saw it until now. This means that because of your latency compensation settings it is shifting the audio to the left which could cut off some of the recording in the beginning. If you are recording with a click first and a count off, there's really nothing to be concerned about. If your song start immediately at the beginning of the file, just shift it to the right a bit before recording. Hope that helps!

yes you can! But this depends on what kind and how your audio interface is setup. For example if you are using the internal sound card, the L channel will be track 1 and the R channel will be track 2.

Then it occurred to me, "Demonic Sweaters" would be the perfect name for a super cheesy, no budget movie - which in turn would be perfect for MST. Even though I always enjoyed it, I found it hard to watch because one has to really focus (or miss stuff), so I never watched them all and figured there is a fairly high likelihood that DS is one of the movies that MST ripped a new hole in.
