Exactly, you first need to convert the guitar track you recorded to midi. I think most new DAWs (recording softwares) support this, but the first step would be to check if your software has this option. I use Logic pro X btw!
Ok - for this purpose, the best option is to learn about software instrument plugins. For example you could use a plugin called EZ drummer to add drums to you guitar tracks.
The idea is to record your guitar in a DAW (Reaper, cubase etc) and then program drums using a plugin such as EZ drummer.
I usually do my recordings like this:
I use audacity for recording:
1. When recording a lesson on guitar master class
- I press record on audacity,
- Press play on the backing track for the lesson and then
- I start playing
- And the result is: in audacity I will have my guitar recorded on the backing track.
At the same time I will record video.
Then I will mix the audio from audacity with the video.
2. When I want to create a backing track:
I will export a guitar pro file with the instruments that I don't play, for example: Drums, Bass, Keyboards
Then I will record Rhythm Guitar and Lead guitar.
Then I will use audacity to mix the guitar pro file with my recorded instruments and hear I have to be very careful to mix them at the perfect seconds.
