Recording on a track, while listening to another track...

Hi
Basically I currently have a blank track armed for recording with effects, and I have track 2 with an instrumental track. On the third track I have a song that I would like to listen to while recording, BUT not turn up in the recoding. Currently all 3 tracks turn up in the recording. I would only like track 1 and 2 to be in the final product. I need to listen to track 3 for reference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have Adition 3.0 with antares autotune installed on a PC, if this helps.
Thanks!

Hi Steve
Thanks so much for your reply. I am still a bit confused as to what exactly I have to do as this is really my first day using Adobe for my project.
Basically I have gone to the Windows mixer recording and I can verify that only the Mic that I am using is selected. That is good.
I have the audition mix to "always input" so I can hear what my recording is 'live'.
When you mention re routing things to inputs, would this be in the Adobe auditon program, or windows.
I would think that what I'm trying to do is very basic, which is setting the first track 'armed for record', which works fine (although I realize you said it will be dry until I 'save as an mp3' (i think))
the second track will be the 'instrumental track' which I would like to be in the final output without track 3
track 3 is the full song (with lyrics and instrument) which I just need for when I'm recording so I know when to say certain words and such..
the problem is, is when I go to record (with the mic), I am recording all 3 tracks, which is logical, but i only want my recording to end up having track 2 (instrumental) and track 1 (my mic) ....
is there no way I can simply select which tracks to end up in the recording on track 1?
also, track one I believe, once I've recorded, has all 3 tracks combined, which I only want to have track 1 and 2.
also, when i got to edit--> rewire setup, and click 'enable' ...it says I have no re wire programs on my computer....
maybe i have to select my track 3 for "read, write, touch, latch" settings (which are all currently set to 'read')?
sorry if I'm making things more complicated then they have to be...just need to get cracking on this asap....
thanks!

How do I record one track while listening to another?

I've recorded a guitar track. Now I want to layer vocals on top of it. Obviously, I need to hear the guitar track while adding the vocals. How do I do that in GarageBand? If GarageBand can't manage that, which program should I be looking for?

you need do nothing, just create another track and record on it, all other tracks will play unless they are muted (or other tracks soloed)

How can I record Audio while listening to another Audio Track?

I wanted to record a duo with both parts played by myself but I can't get Logic EXpress 8 to let me hear the previously recorded Audio track while recording the second Audio track. I do have an Edirol UA-25 and thought i had it set up to make that possible.
If any of you know the answer I would appreciate it greatly to have an answer to such a basic operation, or is Logic so far behind that I will HAVE to upgrade to Leopard and buy Protools?

Hello,
as far as i know, the advanced mode of the EA-25 requires you to install the original Edirol driver. The simple mode has basic core audio support, but the advanced mode allows MIDI and more than 44.1 kHz.
However, you shouldn't deselect Advanced, if it works okay - leave it on!
Just look if the "Digital in" switch is set to off, and set the small selector switch for the sample rate at the back to 44.1 kHz. With these settings, you should be able to play back and record at the same time. If not, the problem is not the UA-25.

Ability to tag a track while listening?

I was wondering if it is possible to tag a new track while while listening to it? If I purchase a new album and listen to each track it would be nice to flag a track as very good so I could find it again later. Right now I can add stars to it but not find them on my iphone. I can create an on the go play list only if I know what tracks I want to add. It would be nice if I could listen to an album and then add a track I just listened to to a playlist.
Thanks,
Mike

When i try to open piano roll it is stuck on the same track regardless of whether another track is selected. I cannot elect a new synt track and pull up in piano roll

When i try to use piano roll it always goes back to a single track. Even if I select another track or adda new blank track it will not open.
Also if I add notes to the track that opens I cannot hear them when i place them on piano roll

There's a little icon in the top left corner of the piano roll window that looks like a pair of chain links. If that is selected (goes yellow) then the piano roll editor is linked to the arrange page region selection(s). Sounds like what you want.
It's really useful sometimes to be able to unlink, so that you can keep one piano roll open (to watch the timing of the notes, for example) and not haver it change each time you do something in the arrange page.
Also, next to it is a little man running icon. If that is selected, the piano roll will chase the cursor. If not selected, it won't. Also useful sometimes.
Hope that helps

In iOS iMovie, can I create a new voice over track while listening to the video clip's audio?

Can I hear the original track of a video clip while adding a voice over using iOS iMovie? When I try to record a voice over for a clip that already has video, the video's audio is muted.

Forget it-- I figured it out.

Global key shortcut to play next track while working in another program...

Is there a key combo that will play the next track regardless of what program you are working in? I know command arrow will do that, but itunes must have focus for that to work.
Senerio - I am working in pages and the track playing is not a favorite, can I skip to the next track without finding the itunes window?
thanks

I use this free program which gives you complete control over iTunes from the OS X menu bar: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/youcontroltunes.html

Creating multiple records in a block while sitting in another block

Hey friends....I've 2 blocks in my form. Block-A contains producats A,B etc and Block-B contains colors like Black, Blue etc. I wish that when user selects 2 or more colors in Block-B and presses a button in that block, then each color should be assigned to each of the product with a (No.of colors x No. of Products) recods e.g if user entered 2 products A & B in two rows of Block-A and 2 colors Black & White in Block-B, then Product A should have 2 records with each color i.e Black and White. In the same way Product B should have 2 records i.e Product B with 1 record with color Black and 2nd record with color White.
Is there any body to accomplish this job?

Product table is not a Master/Detail because Product itself is not dependant on color at the time of creationMaster-detail means that you can create a master (Product) without any details (colors).
2 records for Paint with color Black and Red. And 2 records for Shirt with color Black and Red. So total 4 records will be created with a minimum entry from userDoing it that way will cause data-redundancy and possible inconsistences. I would go with a detail-table for Color-Assignments to products.
I created one detail block of products and anothers detail block of colors with check-boxesOk so far. Lets assume you go with the "Detail"-table for color-assignments to products, then you would:
- Base the Color-block on the color-table.
- Create an additional checkbox as non-dasetable-item.
- Create a POST-QUERY-trigger which check the PRODUCT_COLOR-table, if a record exists for the combination of color and product and sets the checkbox to checked or unchecked.
- Create a ON-UPDATE-trigger on that block, which does an INSERT into PRODUCT_COLOR if the checkbox is checked or an DELETE from PRODUCT_COLOR if the checkbox is unchecked.
hope this helps

Recording to one track while playing another

Is it possible to record to one track while listening to playback from another? I have tried and the sound from the playback track seems to be full of static while recording but clears up once the recording functions is turned off. Any ideas? BTW....I am using the M-Audio Firewire410 as my interface.

It's possible. Make sure your interface is set for the same sample rate/bit depth as your STP project. A mismatch can cause ugly stuff like that.

Can i play one track while recording another

I just laid down a guitar track and would like to now lay down a vocal track while listening to the guitar track at the same time. Can this be done on Garage Band. If so, how. Thanks for the help.

that is how GB works, just record on another track, there is nothing to set

Live video capture while playing back another video track?

Is it possible to capture live video while another video track is being played back? I would like to do this for multitrack video recording of music: a) record a video track, then b) record a second video track while listening to/watching the first. Exactly like multitrack recording of audio as in Garage Band, but with video.
A similar question was asked here, but I want to avoid manual synchronization. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11712024&#11712024
As an example, there are lots of multitrack videos on youtube, but you can often tell synchronization has been done manually as the audio and video are out of sync (even if only slightly):

Many thanks!

I'm not too familiar with video editing (yet), so please forgive me if I've misunderstood your suggestions. I think what I'm talking about would have to be done post (after shooting multiple video tracks?), and couldn't be done with video switching (live switching between multiple video feeds?). Here's a much better example of what I'm trying to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGKErn2Zr88
What it boils down to in my mind is precise synchronization of a new capture with something pre-recorded (be it audio or video). If no software can do this (yet), perhaps there's a way to do it with additional hardware, for example playing video on a monitor while simultaneously recording with a camera, assuming the devices can be synchronized somehow?
Thanks!

GPS Tracking program that continues to track while using other iPhone apps

Does anyone know of a GPS tracking app for the iPhone 3G that will continue to track while listening to music or answering calls? The few apps I've tried quit logging when you change to another app.

Thanks - hopefully Apple will address this soon. I'm not willing to hack/jailbreak my phone just to get this functionality.
One last dig:
This is the unfortunate reason that I've stayed away from Apple for so long. They make WOW stuff that is pretty and neat to use as long as you stay inside the "box" so to speak. I guess I'll have to take my old blackberry running with me - it can play music AND track your run with GPS. Who would want to do that?

Listen to a track while recording another

How do I record on a track while monitoring another track in the same project to ensure that my current recording aligns with the other track?
Thanks!

that should be automatic, it's how GB works, unless you actively Mute the other track (or solo the one on which you are recordig)

How to view score of one track while recording another.

I want to record audio on one track. I want to read the notes and chords from another track while recording. ( I want to use the previously recorded track only for providing me with the score ) I would very much prefer to have Logic chase the score so that I know where I am in the arrangement while recording.
I am aware I can print out the score as a a pdf file and view that, and its not so bad, however I would prefer Logic to follow along the score and let the playhead indicate the location.
I can do this when not recording. I can view the previous track just before I go into recording, but when I go into recording, the score switches to showing currently track being recorded ( which is empty)

Hi there,
Floating Windows all but disappeared with Logic 8 and many of us mourn their passing. Although some windows are, by default, floating (eg transport), the only one that you can choose to make float nowadays is the Environment, useful if you're setting up faders or some other real-time control.
