Recording and syncing TD-15/Mac/Audacity

[Matchgrip]

Hi all,

I finally have my drums recording good in Audacity on my MacBook from my TD-15KV. I'm doing it with the USB connection between the TD-15 and my Mac. The next thing I need to figure out is how to sync my playing with the song I'm playing to. Right now when I play along I'm using the line in on my drums which I have an iPod connected to. I play on my iPod, goes through the line in on my drums, and I play along - the drums are being recorded on the Mac, but not the song coming from my iPod. Any advice on how to get a recording of the drums and the play along song? I guess I could use the headphone out into the mac - but what if I want to sync a song with my drum track in Audacity? What do you guys do?

I would import/drag-and-drop the audio-file of your mp3 player into audacity, onto a separate track! Then, create a new track to record your drums on. This will give you dedicated tracks for both playback and drums, and ensures everything will be in sync.

Bingo! except, it's Audacity, not audiocity... he he!
