Cannot isolate a recording

[Treviso]

I use Sonar X! producer. I can't seem to not have other tracks bleed into the track I'm trying to add lead vocals to. Help!

Need more info. Are you using headphones or playing back tracks on speakers? What interface?

I'm using headphone of the audio out on the computer. When I look in cakewalk, I see it's picking up the sound from the other two tracks. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks..

It sounds like you're using the onboard audio of a computer, and that you've got the recording source in Windows set to "wave out" or "what you hear" or "stereo out" or the like. The immediate fix might be to go into the Windows audio settings and change the recording source to just the input. The more long term solution is to use a proper audio interface. If you are using an interface, you might be using it with the Windows drivers rather than the better ASIO driver that comes with most of that kind of hardware.
