Hi Andrew,
Thank you so much for leading me to your tutorial. I will surely try
it out with my audacity project.
So I have 2 tracks in my audacity window right now, one is the karaoke
track which the screen reader announces with its name and the other is
the one with my vocals which the screen reader announces as track 2.
So I select track 2 by pressing enter on it and then go to the effects
menu and choose the amplify option as I want my vocals to be louder.
But when I press enter on it, the screen reader announces the name of
my karaoke track instead of saying track 2, which is what I need to
work with. Please advise.

Hi Manoj

You may be a candidate for my audio intro to Audacity tutorial.  You can
download it from https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/v56cn4.  It runs for about
16 minutes.  I start with some basic editing, which you may well find
useful.  The section on adjusting level starts at 13 minutes 56 seconds.

The tutorial deals with a single track.  Because you have two tracks, one
with the music and one with your vocals, it is important that the music
track is not selected and the vocal track is selected.  Use up and down
arrows to move between the tracks.  Pressing Enter will toggle the selected
and unselected state of the track.

Hi Ted, Andrew and others,
The recording finally worked perfectly. Thank you so much for all your
valuable suggestions. Now my next question is how can I increase the volume
of my vocals alone?

Hi Manoj

You are over-thinking the process.  As Ted said, pressing spacebar
will stop.  That is, it will stop both the karaoke track and the track
onto which you are recording.  Do it like this:
1. Go to the point in the karaoke track a little before you want to
start singing.
2.  Press shift-r.  That will start recording on a new track while
playing the karaoke track.
3.  At the relevant time, start singing.
4. When you have finished singing, press spacebar to stop recording.
You can then adjust levels and whatever else you want to do to the
recording of your voice.

Hi Ted,
For some reason, when I press space, my recording also stops and when
I press space again that is when the karaoke track begins playing.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. I followed all the steps that you suggested.
So there is a bit of music at the beginning and then I have to start
singing. So I press Shift plus R to start a new recording, but when I
press space to play the karaoke track, the recording stops.
Could you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Open the karaoke track in audacity.  Make sure you have earphones on
and set your preferred microphone.  Go to the transport menu by
pressing Alt+N, go into the transport submenu and make sure overdub
is on.  The final step is to record a new track by pressing shift+R
and save the file.  Hope it helps!

Hi,
How can we record vocals over a karaoke track in audacity?
