So, I have a recording question that I cant figure out for the life of me. When I'm recording a song with multiple layers (specifically, multiple guitar parts), I would record a guitar part first, export as an mp3, then play that in winamp as I'm recording the second guitar part in over it in Audacity. I would expect Audacity to play the already-recorded parts as I'm simultaneously recording another part, but it doesnt happen. Am I doing somethign wrong?

It also seems that a good majority of you are Cool Edit Pro users.. I downloaded that demo software a couple weeks ago, recorded something, then almost had a heart attack when I found out it would only export the first 60 seconds unless I bought the full $200 version. Cool Edit Pro users, did you all really pay the cash?

Thanks in advance!

In Audacity, there's some kind of option under "preferences" that you have to set....something like "playback track while recording new one"...it's as simple as clicking that option "on"

Daylight, I knew there was an answer as easy as that! Thanks!
