What is the best way to start recording?

Hi
 
I'm using my digital piano to accompanying my vocal when I'm sing.
What the best way to recording a track is it by Separated track? So the track one is the chord only?
And the second track my voice?

    Yes. If you want to edit vocals and accompaniment separately, they need to be on separate tracks.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    Make sure you listen (monitor) your piano through headphones so that the piano sound doesn't bleed into your vocal track

    You need to make sure the 2 tracks are routed separately. click on the "Track input" drop down menu. 
    How are you getting voice and keys to Sonar ?

    Good Day,
    Id suggest by coincidence you refer to the most recent "Friday's tip on the week #163" at top of this forum, and also refer in Sonar help menu sub-section on mixing to get started.
    Also, although somewhat geared to their products there are generic principles in Izotope's Mixing Guidlines (free pdf)

    Cheers
