How to record a microphone over a music bed

Prepare a track for the voice

In Montaje (session), connect the music and create an empty track for the take. Place the cursor at the second where you want to start recording. Open Micrófono (microphone), select the input device and press Conectar micrófono (connect microphone). The browser asks for permission on an HTTPS page or localhost. Speak at your recording distance and watch the meter before you start.

Use headphones so the music does not bleed into the microphone. Select the empty track in Pista de grabación (recording track) and tick Escuchar pistas al grabar (play tracks while recording) if you want to hear the music while you speak. QuickEdit avoids direct monitoring of your own voice.

Record and review a take

Press Grabar en pista (record on track) and then Detener grabación (stop recording). The take appears as a clip. If there was already a clip on the target track, an overlapping take can replace it. The empty track lets you compare recordings without overwriting the previous one.

Listen from before the voice comes in. If the take is early or late, select its clip and adjust Posición en sesión (position in session). Lower the music volume while the voiceover lasts if they compete. You can add a gentle low cut to the voice from FX.

Keep the session

Press Guardar (save) to come back to the session with its sources in the same browser. Open Opciones → Exportar mezcla… (options → export mix) to take the voice and the music together as a WAV.
