Recording app help please.

Hi friends,

I need some help here.
Do you know a recording app, a simple one, (my technical skills reach as far as turning a lightbowl in), that can record two tracks, and hear the first track, While recording the second?

If you're on a computer, then pretty much any DAW will have that ability, but the simplest program that out there is probably Audacity (it's also free!), so that's what I'd recommend

If you're on a phone, then your guess is as good as mine

I think you can do that with GarageBand already installed on the iPad.

During the pandemic I was doing some karaoke singing by playing the audio track through a Bluetooth speaker from one device (computer or IPad) and capturing the singing along to the track with with my phone. Acoustic in other words. Poor man’s multitracking. Here is the example:
I created the backing track first:

Then singing and “lead” guitar

:

This was the song I was recreating:

They actually commented on my version

Here is a less involved one….the poly phonic intro from the third guitar trio album. Recorded John’s part and I am playing Paco’s along to it:

GarageBand for iPad is so simple it’s confusing - all these hidden menus that aren’t obvious like on a computer.

On your iPad, you would want to record a new track with a backing track. You could import an mp3 or record your own, then play it while recording.

Here is a tutorial:

I also like Ricardo’s simple idea because I loose patience with this stuff.

When I did that Ben woods tango thing he asked “dude, your audio sounds like it was just with a cel phone cam or something. Can you do a better audio?”.

I said “no man, can you make everybody else sound like they are in my kitchen too?”

. He said “I’ll do my best!”.

I found garage band, and I manage it a little now. Thanks Somon!

@ Ricardo, that is a very easy and effective solution. Did not think of it. Thanks!.
And your playing…man….you play no music, you are music. Incredible!

@jason, thanks for the tutOrial, I will look into that.

In my yought I played chromatic harmonica.
Did not play it in 30 years I think, but recently I bought one, and still could play some old songs.
On a second hand site, I could buy a very large chord 48 Hohner to play the accompanimenting chords, so I want to fool around a bit with it.
