    I have downloaded a November challenge track and want to play it on my (iPad Air M4) and video same time. Where do I save the track file? According to web, I can do it. It saves to a file but won’t play… this may be too advanced a question but I’ve searched online… thanks if anyone can suggest where to look. YouTube explanation? Thanks 😊 Louisa

    Louisa, you can’t record while playing something back on the same device. You’ll have to find two devices – one to play the track and a different one to record. One mobile device can only handle input or output, but not both at the same time.

    Do you have a phone you can use as a second device?

    @kanae926 yes I can upload to my phone, I think… and video on my iPad. I was sure you could have backing track play same time… but thank you
    Maybe someone else has an opinion. Thanks!

    I’m pretty sure turning on the camera causes any audio currently playing to stop if you try to do both. It happens to me when I’m playing a music app and I try to take a video of my cat.

    Actually, I take it back. Starting with iOS 18, there is a setting on iPhones to allow it. It might be the same to enable it on an iPad.

    Go to Settings > Camera > Record Sound > toggle on Allow Audio Playback

    I don’t know how different iPadOS is, but if you’re on the current version, it should be the same or similar. Good luck!

    @kanae926 thank you for your input, it was helpful. I think my issue is downloading the RC track to a recording device. Is for playback only. So I used my phone to play tack close to my iPad camera speaker and record that way. Think that’s only option.
    Appreciate you taking time to respond. Louisa 🎶🎶🎶
