Is there a way to get a vertical cursor full screen (top to bottom) to enable me to accurately move and align start points of tracks?

Re: backing track present on new recording track

Hi Edgar Problem solved. The Realtek control panel has a stereo mixing facility on this version for recording. Simply muting this option has solved the problem.

Re: backing track present on new recording track

I don't think this problem is with the microphone as the duplication of the backing track onto the following track occurs even when the microphone is not connected. If it of any help the duplicated track is recorded slightly louder than the backing track.

Re: backing track present on new recording track

Nothing else running on this machine Koz. To be clear in my mind (please let me know if I've got this wrong) I understand I should be able to record track #1 (backing track) then record track #2 (voice track). So track #1 should only contain the backing and track #2 should only contain the voice. If...

Re: backing track present on new recording track

Not a laptop, full size tower PC with quad core processor and Realtek HD sound card. Microphone is a condenser type Studio Model BM750. Undoubtedly made in China. The sound quality from the mic is actually better than expected.

If I select "Other tracks while recording (overdub)" it records the microphone onto the vocal track but also the b...

Re: backing track present on new recording track

Hi Trebor. I tried that but it doesn't work. I still get both the backing track and the voice on the new track. Is it something to do with the backing track being an MP3 format?

backing track present on new recording track

Hi I have downloaded an MP3 piano backing track (track 1) but when I try to record voice on another track (track 2) the piano track records on it as well as my voice. How can I prevent this?
