you're asking quite a broad question....

are you asking how to record your voice into the program? how to set up your program to record an input? it SEEMS that you know that stuff, but you just want to know how to physically record your voice...
IF THATS THE CASE....
1. make sure you have a pair of headphones to play your backing tracks...
2. ideally, you should record into a sound editor (sound forge, cool edit...etc...)
3. if no sound editor is available, record directly into acid.
4. record at a relatively LOW volume (you can always bring levels up later) you cant bring distorted or clipped levels to an acceptable level!!!!!
5. beat map your vocals (which should be pretty accurate since youre singing over a backing track)
6. arrange your vocals.
7. add effects (compression, reverb, delay)
8. adjust levels.

this is obviously a VERY BROAD way to record, but its the basics...youll learn what suits your needs best.

You can record your vocal fine, correct? If so, it's just a matter of adding and arranging content into your project from there. Have you tried adding anything into your project after recording your vocal?
