Brilliantly explained in a very short tutorial.

[@Namarie-Wolf]

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I wanted to record myself singing with background music, so I could send it to a friend who's depressed, but I have no tech experience. This video saved me so much. Thank you!

[@PnoyAngler]

I just bought blue yeti for my gaming mic. I was just curious how to record my voice singing karaoke from youtube. Thank you so much for this..make more awesome videos like this.

[@ontheroadagainwithvinny931]

I've used Audacity for a while but still learnt something new watching this. Thanks.

[@milindtiwale3477]

I have watched 2 of your videos. They were awesome. Explained everything in detail. Thanks a lot.

[@MascrisSensei]

Oh wow. I wished I found this channel earlier before uninstall voicemeeter yesterday. Watched the others youtuber but they didn't explain about this part. Big thanks!

[@sxysammy1986]

This is a wonderful help. I’m just starting out recording, I’ve sung and written for years,. But due to my learning difficulties I have always struggled to find a way to record at home. Thank you so much for a brilliant guide on how to combine KZbin with audacity x

[@frankwuco159]

This was PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT. I think only YOU have done this. Thank you!

[@Sim_Pole]

This is exactly what I was looking for, yet it didn't show up in my initial search. Endless wandering about has led me to your video, thank you so very much

[@suesue1764-r8c]

Wow...wonderful job teaching us so well about it...I very much appreciate ! thank you.

[@awayre]

Thank you so much for this! And especially thank you for the last segment where you also showed how to record vocals on a separate track. A little tip for those who might find it useful. If you find a latency between the vocals and the sound track through voicemeeter, just record the track on to a track on Audacity. Then change both the output and the input to your *microphone* and turn off the voicemeeter. Then record your vocals. This way the latency will go away. Also, the vocals will be on track by themselves so that you can process the vocals - compress etc. - without messing with the soundtrack. Thanks again.

[@EricNewman888]

Can you post a vocal on KZbin track on social media? Do you need to ask the track maker somehow?? Thanks!!

[@edstockman5584]

Brilliant. My wife is trying to get into home recording, and I just can't be there to help like I'd like. Your tutorial is brilliant! It's helping give her confidence and get her started, with your walkthrough.

[@videowatcher4006]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[@MusicRepo]

You’re welcome 😊

[@roydeupree7395]

I found your video to be very useful. Just the type of information I was looking for. Well done.

[@mbmichaelbranden]

Excellent! My FIRST visit to your Channel and loved it! I really like the way you present things, easy to comprehend. (And kind of fun!) Just getting started with digital recording stuff, except my phone, love recording on that thing. I'll be back, thank you! :-D

[@MusicRepo]

Thanks and welcome

[@cliveankiewicz9114]

I would just like to thank you for explaining how to slow down my music & what a difference it has made to my singing to be able to slow it down at times< but also to slow it down when I come to the end.

[@jaraf4]

thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for, I want to record my electric guitar with a backing track.

[@booksandboardgames6776]

I love you. I love you! I've been trying to record karaoke covers for weeks, but there's always latency. I'm going to try what you're suggesting, but honestly, even if it doesn't fix the latency issue, your video is still fantastic 👏 👏 Thank you so much!!

[@IamWraith68]

Thank you was a great help..let the singing begin😁😊

[@nenot625]

very very helpful in creating my presentations!!! thank you so much!!!

[@vinayketkar7810]

Excellent video. Crisp and clear instructions that work 100%

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

love this channel.....great information, I help a lot of people set this up and now am pointing them to your channel!

[@MusicRepo]

Awesome, thank you! 🙏

[@AZZapper11]

Looks and sounds great. What screen recorder did you use to produce the video ?

[@MusicRepo]

Thanks. Camtasia. I have used it for years, it's a great product.

[@gglebabydoc2955]

❤❤It is so wonderful. Thank you💐💐

[@amiddle-agedguysings1716]

Thank you, this has been incredibly helpful.

[@lloydtucker]

Brilliant video, If you have a video file eg .mp4 that you wish to e tract the audio from, simply drag it into a new audacity window and save it as an mp3 or wav file. I often video record our church services and extract the audio to fix any imperfections then upload the fixed audio back onto the video. Hint when fixing audio for video, fix the audio but do not delete any part of it else you lose the video sync, silence the pops but don’t delete them. I find it best to edit the video after the audio correction is done else it’s a fiddle to re align the track to the video

[@yourpalfranc]

Always cool and fun information, Jane!! I'm going to give this a try in Reaper, as well. Happy New Year!! ~Frank

[@MusicRepo]

Happy new year! Thanks 🙏

[@AM-qd7qu]

Excellent video very helpful many thanks

[@calvinchan4953]

Thanks for this! Absolutely helpful to get started!

[@rohanranawaka5755]

Thank you so much. This is very useful.

[@pokerface1411]

Wow, finally I found the perfect tutorial. Thank you!!! Can I know the version of audacity that you are using in this video?

[@imranhack9024]

Excellent explanation. Thanks

[@maniksinger8179]

Many Tnx from Bangladesh. Sister

[@Thefreemans-interesting-music]

Gunna be playing keyboards over Band In A Box backing tracks. Think I will just import the tracks into Audacity first then record a separate track with the synth.

[@storungz]

You and your channel are so AWESOME!!! I'm so glad I found you!! There is so much to learn here and you explain everything so thoroughly. I'm very excited to better my own recordings in 2021! Happy New Year!! CHEERS!

[@MusicRepo]

You are so welcome! Thanks 🙏

[@progmusic3314]

Thank u so much for ur kind knowledge sharing

[@iurigriga]

Awesome use for practicing and recording it to develop ideas. Thank you for sharing :)

[@MusicRepo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@iurigriga]

@@MusicRepo I happen to teach guitar online and I always thought about using my audio interface second input to send my guitar dry signal to my students. Do you have any tips on it? I use mainly zoom, Skype and google meetings. In fact I use the easiest way my students can connect with me. And I have a steinberg ur 22mk2 interface.

[@weimotu]

Thank you very much for this tutorial; that's really fantastic. A quick question, I was wondering if you could share what type of screen recorder you used for recording this tutorial (or softwares your used for recording this tutorial). Thank you :)

[@MusicRepo]

Thanks - I use Camtasia for all my video editing and screen recording.

[@weimotu]

@@MusicRepo Thank you very much for your response. That's very helpful. I am actually a Mac user, but this tutorial does inspire me to look for other programs that I can use on my Mac. I very much enjoy your videos :)

[@ashlysmith5570]

This is brilliant! Thanks!

[@EvanDuly]

Can you do a video for this topic but on Mac computers or iOS?

[@MusicRepo]

Noted, good idea. On the list 👍

[@hotrockfiddles]

Another great video. Thank you

[@peterelfman]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@Joi_Katskee]

This is so helpful! Do you have a video on how to mute your mic on Voicemeter while recording the 2nd track? I record my live radio show and I want to prevent my mic from picking up anything while songs are playing.

[@SaltBushCity]

Excellent video. Thanks. You asked for requests about future content, so... do you have, or could you do, a video on how to record video and then replace, and synch, the audio with a separately recorded audio track from 2 sources like this one? Thanks again.

[@MusicRepo]

Thanks, and good suggestion. It is actually on my list to do! But meanwhile, this is an older video where I covered how to sync video and audio from playing the piano. The principles are exactly the same, and this would work in almost all video editing software (I was using Camtasia but you can do this in iMovie - however you need to change to default to view audio waveforms) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWK9qXV7jNFqb5I

[@SaltBushCity]

@@MusicRepo Thanks a lot. That's a great video. Looks like exactly what I need.

[@xPRxMEx]

Was there a video for this dance concept on Mac? Thank you

[@dangquangminh2612]

Thank you for your video. It's absolutely awesome. I have a question: so you went over the recording of backing track (youtube video) and vocal on 1 track. How do you separate them but still be able to watch the backing track playing (karaoke for example) so we can repeatedly record multiple voice tracks with the video backing track? Thank you for your time.

[@robbieflyer7767]

is there any latency issue with this setup? thanks.

[@essentiallyprudentwithmadz583]

Thank you 🤗

[@bamacgee8897]

would this method work with an audio interface like scarlett solo

[@rubenk1414]

Hi can you do a list of all the hardware that you use . I am setting up a recording home studio but I have very little experience. Thank you

[@vanhalen1776]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! very well explained and easy to follow. Subscription from me!

[@MusicRepo]

Awesome, thank you!

[@the.shoreland2703]

i love this, it s so clear. but can i replace Audacity with an equivalent software compatible with my pc?

[@johna6648]

This was very informative- thank you! But is it possible to record a video+audio of myself playing saxophone over the backing track with these programs on a Windows laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X1)?

[@serinareimer8516]

I enjoy singing harmony, is it possible to add my voice a second time?

[@jhingstv9700]

what about for mac os? can you have like a tutorial as well for Mac OS please

[@malzprodesign2558]

Very helpful thanks mam

[@Nayz13]

How do you then download the file from the DAW to share it?

[@SPV66]

For the second method where the backing track is directly imported into Audacity as an mp3 and the vocal recording are each on separate tracks, is Voicemeeter and its virtual cable settings still required?

[@mri3180]

Can you please let me know how can I use KZbin track and my voice on the same KZbin track? I tried following your instructions but somehow I was not able sing on the KZbin track. I can do it separately but not together.

[@babistsimoris1891]

How do you make the booth? what parts do you need and where can someone purchse them?

[@Anlin]

I have very bad mic delay comparing to sound from PC. Is there a way to fix that?

[@erniebarnhurst1522]

Thank you for this BUT when I open Voice Meeter I get an Audio Renderer error. This only goes away when I close voice meeter. Any suggestions?

[@kekamirza]

Hello mam. Can I record vocal with guitar using an USB Microphone?

[@alvinhoang1800]

Hello All, is there a way to do this on MAC? another way with Voice meter. recording karaoke from KZbin? Thank you. I only have Apple Mac.

[@imranhack9024]

Can I record harmonica over the backing tracks?

[@ronwhitehouse23]

Great video but I find it very complex. Do you do beginners recording with audacity thanks, and I have a Mac is this a problem?

[@prabhakarsharma8459]

So informative.....

[@MAntisLew1]

Great Channel I wish to do song analysis with kareike style singing via OBS to KZbin, and have gotten copyright strike. Any advice on how to go about this?

[@milindtiwale3477]

Hello Madam! I recorded using this technique. worked fine with USB microphone. But I tried it using Xenyx mixer with USB, so that I can give effects before recording and record with already applied effects on mixer. But there is a delay in recording. How to avoid that or correct that?

[@CShenton-z2i]

Total novice here so excuse the (likely) silly question. I've downloaded Voicemeeter but I'm not getting anything out on my virtual input. I've set my default device for playback to Voicemeeter input (I actually have 7 of these in my download - input, aux input, VAIO3 input and Voicemeeter in 1 - 4 - I've tried all). Any ideas what I might be getting wrong? I downloaded the basic Voicemeeter package.

[@SoftMkeys]

Thanks a lot..

[@imranhack6591]

Thank you very much for sharing. This is excellent. Please assist me to download and install VoiceMeeter. I'm having difficulties.

[@pschwartz89]

This was helpful thank you. I am having a couple of issues...first, there seems to be some latency when singing to the backing track. Both go through VoiceMeeter however on playback it's clear that my vocals are a touch behind the song. Second, as I am new to all of this, are there ways to thicken up the vocals either coming out of VoiceMeeter or once in Audacity. When I click on effects and such, there is nothing there and not sure what plugins to load. Thanks!

[@gerdriese1508]

Can you do that with the front mic input? Would be easier because I use it to remove my guitar amp. Or does it only work with a USB microphone.

[@hotrockfiddles]

Hi this is an excellent demo as always . I'm a dinosaur I've ditched focusrite and now using a Samson g pro for my fiddle and it won't allow me to adjust levels nor does it playback through headphones? I can't find out what to do. I hope you don't mind me asking here . Thank you

[@peterludlow9847]

Hi, I am trying to play my electric guitar to a KZbin backing track ,how do you go about it without using a mic just through the laptop from guitar amp. Thanks

[@seanpitts792]

You'll need a usb interface which you will connect to your computer, the USB interface will have connections for guitar and microphones (brands to look at are Focusrite, lexicon, iRig, etc)

[@calvinglover4010]

I am a live host on the Bigo Live app. I'm adjusting my content to include singing live to music. If I get a K1 soundcard, 1. what microphone is best to order and use with this scenario?

[@guitarstrunged]

I am just wondering how important it is to use Voicemeeter. Can't you do exactly the same thing enabling "Stereo Mix" on your PC and using that as your default input?

[@republicanpartyofindia34718]

Mam ask a question,.,..form india

[@TomTerrific]

What software did you use to create your backing music? Thanks.

[@MusicRepo]

Hi, I actually used a royalty free track from a library I am subscribed to, so there would be no copyright issues, and also because it was a very quick way of demonstrating what I wanted to say ... 😀

[@baderqarni9039]

Thanks😅

[@michaelsparkes3491]

I have a question please from another video you did ...... On a mixer with fantom power for the condenser microphone ..Can you use both condenser and cardioid microphones on the mixer at the same time , without seperate on / off buttons for each input ? ..P.S. thanks for liking my last comment.

[@davidjones3384]

Dynamic mics (cardioid, hypercardioid, omni, etc.) will be unaffected by the presence of phantom power on the inputs to which they are connected. The only issue I have had with phantom power was in a live performance when I had mic splitter boxes to send the mic signals to both the main PA mixer and to a monitors mixer. When phantom power was engaged on either mixer, the mic splitters transmitted no signal to that mixer. I doubt you'll be faced with that circumstance, so go right ahead - and enjoy!

[@johnsmall1911]

Can I use my own downloaded track, please?

[@seanpitts792]

Yes, she should that just by importing in the menu bar a "music file"

[@prabhuja7554]

Both tracks together don't play when I use a digital interface

[@jaworshipguitar102]

I have a problem, Whenever I record my vocal in different track, it will also record the backing track.. Can you help me?

[@seanpitts792]

That's ok. If you only want your vocal track its there for you as a separate track. Just delete or close the backing track track before you save/export the project file.

[@thescarecrow8523]

Why is my voice delayed on my recording

[@Diamond88keyz]

That's legal to do? Cover songs?

[@seanpitts792]

Your own personal use not broadcasted/posted is fine

[@deejayimm]

I tried this but I get a delay.

[@benjiang9789]

A is for yourself; B is for the listener or recorder.

I'm planning a Mac version 🙂

[@ronwhitehouse23]

@@MusicRepo Great look forward to that.Thanks for your response. Could you simplify it for me because I am quite a dopey fellow!

[@tomix1970pl1]

You can record on youtube backing track but if you upload it on youtube you will get copy rights warning.

[@MusicRepo]

True ... I don't think that would be a good idea. But recording yourself is a good way of improving. I am assuming that's why I was asked about it 🤔
