Hi All, first post so here goes...

I'm using Cubase 5 into an Audiophile soundcard and Peavey 8 Mixing desk. All has been good for recording Piano Playing .

Problem... I'm tring to record vocals over the piano separately. I stick earphones into Desk, hear piano playing away, my warbling ontop and I think I'm sorted!!! But no!! When I play back the vocal track recording on Cubase, the vocal includes the piano along with!! By the way, the Piano recording was not audible through speakers when doing vocals and my headphones are Dynamic Stero studio headphones....I think!!!

How can I listen to piano and sing over without that track on Cubase "hearing" the piano too...I'm sure it's somethng simple I'm doing wrong but trust me I've tried thousands of options and as I've said...I'm lost!! If you guys could help I'd be a happy, happy man!!!

And if anyne has any Cubase or like questions if I can help out, I'll try. Just drop a line.

In meantime, I wait with hope.....and confusion
 
Something is up with the input for that channel. Check your inputs in "VST COnnections" in the devices menu.
 
The Audiophile's output should be connected to the Peavey's Tape In. Then press Tape To CTRL/HP. Now you can hear a mix of the existing track (piano) and your voice in the headphones but only your voice will come through the main out of the Peavey and get recorded.
