You can record your audio in Band in a Box onto the audio channel. You can source your recording with a USB mic or through a audio interface.

You can also add layers (overdub) to the audio track. When you select the audio record button, a window opens and to overdub select the overdub underlying audio button.

thanks I will try that

A further note. You can use the overdub feature multiple times. Therefore, you can add new instruments or do multiple harmonies if you wish just by continuing to record overdubs. The overdubs are merged rather than mixed so the quality is rather dubious.

However, if you are that ambitious with your productions, you will be better served to do those type things in RealBand. It will be easier and the results will be of a much higher quality.

John, as this is the Wishlist forum, it's not platform specific. The one audio track in BIAB mentioned above is a feature of the Windows version only. I'm pretty sure that's still the case; Mac version users have Garageband.

Even so, if you are using the Windows version and you sometimes want that second audio track like you said, RealBand is the way to go. Alternatively, Drag 'n Drop your BIAB song into another DAW and add the audio tracks there.

Correction: the 2015 version of BIAB for Mac can record one audio track. See this video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHrgavOG2Fk&feature=share
