I could plug straight into the sound card using my adapter and record direct to audacity, guitar only.

Or have the mic hooked to the mic/input, headphone plugged into the computer and the pre-recorded backing track playing on another tape player in the background so the mic can pick it up ("stone age" I tell ya!!!!)...But would audacity let the downloaded backing track "play" and record the second track (mixing down 2 to 1) at the same time if I am plugged directly into the copmputer and just say too hell with the tape?

I will be doing trial and error over this weekend and will let you know how it goes but I would like to have some working knowledge from others you all who have been doing this more than a day (like myself) so I will not make some pretty basic mistakes :rolleyes:

Sorry if this is confusing to you guys/gals but it is extremly confusing to me right now :confused:
