Recording Sound simuntaneously from 2 different sound cards simuntaneously

[dinoop]

Hello,
I have a USb microphone attached to my computer which am using to record my voice and i have a Creative sound card already instaleld.
What i want to do is simuntaneously record my narration with some background music that i am playing in my windows media player. I am using a sound record software for this.The problem is that the software can either record my narration in my USB mike or the music that i play from media player, but not both.because i cause they recognize my mike as a new sound card..or device..So how can i solve this..?? any suggestions..

Hi,

Wouldn't it be easier to record your narration and then use editing software to combine the narration and background music (2 tracks)?

Audacity should be able to mix the two tracks - and it's free!!
