I'm guessing I would need to add it as an overlay track but how would I do it?

Well, it helps to let us know what computer you are working on ... now that MixMeister supports Mac users, it probably is good to note that in a question ... I'm going to assume you are a Windows/PC user, and that you know there is a built-in sound recorder in Windows, and that you have a mic attached to your PC. In which case, you should have the basics needed for a recording as simple as saying your own name for an overlay.

That said, I should point out tht I've never had huge luck in recording via the built-in's in Windows ... due, I suspect, to something arcane like an audio driver conflict. But in theory, it is pretty straightforward:
--Open up the recorder and check the settings (in XP, Sound Recorder and Audio Controls are located via START>Programs>Accessories>Entertainment.)
--Start the recorder, speak into the mic, stop the recorder. Note where the file is saved on your hard drive.
--Import the file into MM and use it like any other track.

And, as mentioned before, the MM Help file tells all about working with overlays, so there's no need for me to retype all that info.

If you run into trouble with the recording part, post again and be very specific about what you did and what the results were -- that's how to get useful help.

Good luck
