I have been recording some acoustic guitar in AA 2.0. I have the metronome activated....when i playback the tracks, the metronome has been recorded in the track....I changed one setting (can't remember now...and i'm at work) and it seemed to disappear, but after editing the single tracks in the Edit view i can still hear the metronome in the quieter sections of the track...i.e. at the trailing end of the chords at the end of phrases.

Is there something i'm missing?

Thanks!

Check the thread at the top of the forum, "When Track one records onto track two".

I'm assuming it's a soundcard setting causing this. Or, if you're looping out of AA into a mixer and back into AA from the mixer, it might be the mixer settings.
 
Metronome

I don't have any problems with other tracks bleeding into another,.....it's just the metronome....

I don't have the board looped,....it is a USB Board and replaces my soundcard.

It has to be one or the other. AA isn't placing the metronome on the track, it's on the playback while recording... somehow, the track you're recording onto is picking it up.

Assuming it's not blaring out of your monitors or headphones while tracking the guitar, it has to be a soundcard(usb Board) issue.

It sounds like, from your description, that the soundcard isn't muting the playback channel completely, and your picking up bleed on the recording channel.
 
I'll have to look into that tonight....I'm recording through a 1" diaphram condenser mic that is SUPER SENSITIVE....I didn't think of it bleeding through the headphones,.....that's interesting!!

I'll have the check the other settings.

Thanks!

That's very likely a problem. Most home recorders experience some level of headphone bleed. It's usually not an issue during full playback of the track. Using the noise reduction in AA should be sufficient to eliminate it if that's the case.

However, check your mixer settings. If you're looping a monitor feed back to the PC it might be bleeding through that feed as well.
