how can i record karaoke tracks?

[kaveman]

I am a singer and I need to record my vocals along with some karaoke tracks that I have downloaded using iTunes. I just want to make some recordings so I can market myself to bands that need a singer. I am using Cubase LE 4 with a Tascam US-144mk2 interface. I want to be able to hear my voice clearly thru my mic in my headphones and also hear the karaoke track and make a crisp clear recording of myself. I am new at this type of recording and have not been able to bring it all together. Do I need a wireless monitor to record like this?

Just import the karaoke track into Cubase, then set up a track to record your vocal to, record enable that track and sing away!

How can I isolate my vocals from the karaoke track that I recorded with? I uploaded the karaoke track to one of the channels and clicked on the "S" button for that channel. On the other channel that has my mic input (vocals), I enabled the record button and recored away. It appears to record my voice along with the Karaoke track together. I want to be able to record my vocals by itself while I'm listening to the Karaoke track during the recording process.

Am I doing something wrong?

You didn't mention what software you are using, but I am assuming that "S" button is a solo function (meaning that "S" enabled tracks are heard and all other tracks are muted). So if you enabled "S" on the music track, you won't hear your vocals.

Are you listening on headphones or is the mic actually picking up the karaoke track?

Is this guy still struggling with this?

Till I learned to do it as posted above, I used audacity Now I use Reaper.
I played the backing track song with my Android phone and headphones.
And recorded my vocals with Audacity.
Then Used Audacity to to combine the tracks, That's how I did the "My Old Freind" Bash #1 in my Sig.
