sonar- new audio track contains other tracks

[wfaraoni]

Hello: i have just started using sonar xl to record both midi and audio. when I create a new audio track it will also contain the audio of any audio tracks which I am monitoring. If I mute the other tracks then It records only the input. It is not a feed back through the mic, because I even tried it with the output volume off. The record meter still shows input signal from the other channel unless I mute them! I cant find any place where the output is looping or re-input either. I am using a sound blaster live platinum 5.1 with a live drive input. However I also have the same problem on my laptop which just has a basic audio card. I intend to monitor the previous channels to add the new ones with correct timing and overdubbing ability but this is not possible if the original tracks are included in the new ones. Any ideas on what I am missing here? Ive banged my head for about 3 hours on this hurdle alone! and yes, input monitoring is OFF!

Double posting is frowned upon around these here parts.

Becuase you're a newbie, we'll let it slide (this time). In the future, you got a Cakewalk/Sonar question, post it in the Cakewalk forum. Got a question you think is too dumb for the Cakewalk forum, post it in the Newbie forum.

But wherever you post it, DON'T POST IT ANYWHERE ELSE!

I'll co-sign that check.
