This forum is an absolute gold mine.  Here's another question. [View all]
      
      More on the gold mine issue.  I've asked computer and non-computer questions and the responses are not only thorough and helpful, but they're perfectly pitched to my abysmal level of ignorance!!  Thank you!!!
Now here's a new question.  Is there an app or maybe a cord that will let a recording be made taking input both from the mic and from a recording file while I listen to that file on my ear phones?  I'm trying to figure out how to make a layered music recording with my classical trio, the way, for instance, the Amsterdam symphony does Beethoven's 9th (final movement).  I'm able to make a recording of me playing with a recording of me being played on my good speakers.  But I would like not to have to involve external speakers until the final playing.  Not all of us have good speakers.  I hope this is making sense.
I was hoping the 3 little sockets where I plug in my earphones might offer some solution.  It doesn't seem to matter which socket I use for my earphones....  ????
