Recording with a mic on Sib 7.5

Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

Please can anyone tell me how to add a vocal part, using a mic, on to an existing instrumental part which I have composed on Sib 7.5? I obviously need to be able to hear the instrumental part so I can 'sing along' with it.

I also have Audioscore and Photoscore (Ultimate versions). I have looked through the reference guides for Sib7.5 and Audioscore but just can't see how to do this.

I am quite new to Sibelius and not particularly technical so any advice (in simple terms!) would be really helpful. Thank you. Don

Well, Sibelius is a notation program, not a recording one.

Transfer your accompaniment to some kind of multi-track recorder (like the free Audacity) and record your vocal there.
