Cool edit / Adobe audition - newbie question re multitrack recording

[kolossusuk]

Hi all

I have been running Cool Edit Pro 2 for over 2 years now on Windows 10 - no problems at all.

However, a simple question, which would probably also apply to early version adobe audition users, when recording in multitrack, is it possible to monitor the other tracks, without them recording into the new track?. Probably a very simple solution, but darned if I can easily locate the methodology!

Yes - you can do this. If the output is feeding back to the input then it is worth looking at the mixer/control panel app that came with your audio interface.

Another thought... you are using headphones to listen back to the previously recorded track aren't you. Listening on monitors will cause the previous track to spill through onto the new track.
