How to match/sync a vocal recording to an imported backing track so that the vocal starts exactly after the backing tract intro - struggling to understand how to do this from my magix music maker premium 2014 operating instructions!

Thank you

There are various ways we can use, suppose you imported a backing track intro and that is in the first track of three bars. Now in the second track you want to record vocals. You have to calculate the time of three bars or intro in the first track. Suppose, the intro is of 5 seconds before you hit recording vocals start counting/use stop watch then start vocal recording or first play the background in Music Maker keep looking at the screen as intro is about to end start vocals. For reference see the screen shot from Music Maker 16 Premium. In the first track there are three bars of Intro. In the second track there is a vocal which begins when the intro of first track ends.

Or if you are good at editing, record your vocal then adjust according to the intro. In the Music Maker we can cut, paste or group the audio very easily therefore editing is not difficult but you should zoom the track for precise work.

Hope above information might be helpful.
