trouble hooking up soundcard to mixer

[chazverges]

i have a small 6 channel behringer mixer hooked up to a soundblaster PCI soundcard and im using pro tracks by cakewalk.My problem is when i record on my first track everything is fine but when i try and record another track the sound from the first track is recorded along with the new sound i just recorded.So how do i stop this from happening without muting the first track?PLEASE HELP cause this is drivn me nutty lol---->ROOKIE

the usual solution to this is to check the signal path.

if you haven't done this already, try:

1 record your source through one of the mixer channels and feed the main mix output of the mixer into the soundcard

2 take the output of the soundcard and feed it into the tape/CD input of the mixer

3 switch the control room output to this input only

4 send the control room output to your monitors or headphones.

Doing this means that when monitoring you are always listening to what comes out of the PC, and you will be able to record a second track without the first recording along with it
