Hullo all. I'm learning how to use Audacity in conjunction with my new JamVox recording device. I've been trying to layer guitar, bass, and vocal tracks, but have one issue:

Is there a way I can play a previously recorded track while recording a new one? For example: I record a guitar track, trim it, and then record a bass track while listening to the guitar track with headphones?

Thanks,
Egiam

Thanks, I will try that later today.

Should I have any issues if I record with headphones?

Shouldn't cause you any problems.

depends entirely on headphones and mic. the mic on my gigaware set always picks up the speakers if i don't adjust the minimum volume on it.
