i have a bedroom studio i use to practice with. i have a athlon xp 1900, creative sound blaster audigy c400(with the breakout box), cakewalk sonar 1.0. I mainly do guitar/bass parts with a pod running directly in(no mics)
when i record say a rhythm guitar part, then go to record a solo on another track the rhythm track also records on the solo track in addition to the solo.
i should be able to do just about anything i want with this setup except for simultaneous multi-tracking. help!
 
Hey there Hubb,

I had precisely this same problem over the weekend. But mine was with a Terratec EWX24/96 sound card.

I had selected my recording input as EWX24/96 WaveRecMixer. What this does it to sum all of the sounds onto one track. So when I soloed the new track (as in muting the other tracks), I got all of the previous tracks as well as my guitar part recorded onto a single track. Not exactly what I wanted :(

A quick read of the handbook (yes, when all else fails, read the instructions...) and I was right. I picked a different input EWX24/96 WaveRec and I was in business.

Truly my friend, I would investigate getting a better soundcard than the Audigy. Creative's cards are not the best for recording work, they can be too limiting in their bit depth and sampling rates.

Have a look at the Echo MiaMIDI. You won't regret it.

hubb, Creative in their infinite wisdom pulled a boner.....

Go to your Windows Audio Mixer and look at the Recording Preferences. Uncheck the "What You Hear" box (it loops the sound back through the environmental effects... great for gamers, but it makes a loop of sound that gets recorded with your new tracks!)

Uncheck "What You Hear" and you can start recording.
