Hey guys, I need some advice on recording. Can you give me some pointers on how to lay down several tracks? I want to experiment with recording my playing. This is for two reasons. First, is to gain the experience of recording and secondly to listen to myself for improving my playing skills (which are low right now). For recording I used the free version of Audacity.

I am guessing that I should start with a drum track first. From there I would probably lay down a rhythm track and then go on from there. I could follow up with a solo or an acoustic guitar. Or would it be better to start out with a backing track and play over it.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Rock on!
