Alright, i just downloaded Audacity. What i did was open the mp3 file of the song (in Audacity), and i figured i'd just sing along with it. Turns out the mp3 is way too loud, and my voice recording is way too quiet... Another thing i probably should add is i can't sing too loud... Neighbors and thin walls and such...
Turn down the Output volume and turn up the Input volume (indicated by a microphone icon) to balance it out. If you want to get rid of the songs, vocals, go to Effects > Vocal Remover for Center-Panned Vocals. Vocal remover doesn't always work very well though. I've had it happen where it butchered everything else in the song to do it, or (but I think it was a poor mp3) removed all sound. But regardless, give it a shot and if you don't like what it does to the song, then by all means Ctrl+Z (or Undo, as it were).
I already did that. I turned down output as far as it could go without completely turning it off. My input was set to maximum. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like: Spoiler I can't hear my own voice at all. Vocal remover failed. :derpe:
I am having the opposite problem as Rarit-E my voice is to loud, and chaning input volume thing doesnt help at all. thanks for the voice remover tip though
The advice given on this page has helped me out a lot. When you get to using Equalization, I set mine so it looks like a "U" rather than just the square looking pattern. I've noticed that works a lot better. Another thing you could try is playing around with the Amplify effect. It helps to quiet down the music a lot, but be wary of using it to increase the volume of your singing, as that makes it easier for clipping to occur.
Ok I found a song. I for one won't record with the song playing. I can't balance it well with my voice. Other than that, I'm using my laptop's built-in mic.

Awesome song is awesome. :3 Anywho, I WAS going to do the Sonic Colours theme, because it's awesome. But, as a terrible singer, I thought I'd spare its life.... I'm not going to participate... Sorry.
