So I’ve been working with Audacity for a few months now trying to make multi-track recordings of my own voice and finally figured out how to work around the latency problems. In any event, have a listen to this recording. I was trying to figure out both a tenor and alto part for our arrangement of Oh Lamb of God where we have a male singing the melody (at a lower register than normally done). After laying the initial 3 tracks, I thought it would be interesting to then add a bass part and then double-up each track to make it more full. What I’m left with is a “Male Chorus of One”!
If you’re interested, the way I got around the latency problem was to lay an initial track of just the melody. I then sang each other part accompanying that first melody track –including a new melody track. Once all the tracks were laid down, I muted the initial track that set the timing for all the others and there you go: a no-latency recording since all the tracks were done while accompanying the same initial track. I’m sure there are other solutions but considering the fact that this project required ZERO investment in hardware (I’m using free software and my old headset), I’d say it works pretty well
Enjoy!
