OK, but then how do you add a compressor to the vocal track? How do you add reverb? Can I route my reverb through a send, then route it back into an auxiliary track? Can I add E Q, and actually specify a 12DB oct? Can I roll off say, in the vocal track, everything below 80HZ, then notch say around the 120HZ to 140HZ range up by say, 1.5DBFS? Can I read my peek input meters to be sure that no clipping occurs, and that I don't peek above say minus 10DB? Getting back to the compressor, will it let me dial in attack, release, threshold, and input as well as output take up gain parameters? When all is recorded, can I then add a master track where I can do the final mix masterring?
These are the things I want/need to be able to do with Audasity. If not, then ehh... I'll just stick with ProTools as every! single! one of the things I just mentioned above are 100 and 50 percent times accessible with Voiceover.

You could use iMovie or another app for adding the finished audio track to a video project. To do what you're wanting, just open Audacity; it will have a new project open automatically. Hit cmd-comma, choose the Devices item from the table, and interact with the scroll area, then review the items to be sure your audio input is set how you want. Stop interacting twice, find the OK button, and press it. Now, use R to record. Space will stop recording, and P will pause or resume recording without stopping completely. Once you have the instrumental track, and have pressed space to stop it, repeat the process for vocals, and any other layers you want. Use up and down arrows to move through your different tracks. Vo-shift-m will open a context menu, from where you can rename, move, and otherwise adjust each track.
