Thanks Dhamma, but I also have another question/concern/problem.

When I go into Audacity and record, I see in the top right hand corner the green bars jumping for the speakers and the red bars jumping for the microphone. Since the bars are jumping for the microphone, I know it is picking me up somehow. And I see the recording marks moving up and down on the audio recording track itself right below the Karoake track. So that all seems to work fine.

My problem is that it doesn't play back my voice. The red bar stops moving in the top right corner and it just plays the instrumental, not my voice at all. But it seems to be recording it.

*is bewildered*

So I have my mic infront of me right now all set up and plugged in with Adobe open though I don't have a clue how you record yourself along with the backing track. It records me with no backing track. *eats arm off* Can anyone help? Technology really isn't a girls best friend.

Nagini · 08-22-2006, 07:10 PM

I fixed my problem.. kind of. My audio port sucks ape and my speakers always short out and I just coulnt hear my recording.

For Carmen: You did import the instrumental, right? I don't have Adobe, though I have Audacity. But I opened the file, or it might say import and then pressed record, and that was all. I don't know how your program is though.

Yea I have done that. It was the first thing I did as I had to check which backing tracks I had were readable. It's as if it runs my recording in a different section to the backing track

Carmen, when you're recording, your vocals go on a separate track. Otherwise, you'd be recording over the music you want to listen to and hear with the vocals.

This is what my Cool Edit Pro looks like when I open one of my songs: Click here. (And no, I'm not doing that song for the karaoke contest. I just did it for fun)

Is that what you're having trouble with?

Togepik · 08-24-2006, 12:06 PM

OK I have another problem:

I need to create a karaoke track (not only for this contest but for a school play) but when I'm using audacity the thing still plays the vocals faintly but audibly after seperating /inverting the track! now I'm at a loss of what to do...

Wildangel · 08-25-2006, 04:21 PM

okay I use cakewalk sonar. Anyhow, how do you even out the vocals so that they blend well with the backing track? I seem to either have them on too strong or too soft. I can't quite get them to blend. and To me it sounds horrible.

I have two questions:

1: Can you level out the sound on Audacity? Cos sometimes the voice is loud and other times the voice is barely audible

2: Also, is there a way to take off the annoying wind of the 'f's, 'p's, and 's's ? that whooshing sound is annoying ! Thanks a lot ^^

does anyone know the answers to thesse two questions??

I'm having the same problems.

Consider me a total n00b. I just downloaded Audacity, and I need to know how to remove the vocals from the track, so I can karaoke it. Anyone?
