Recording multiple tracks audio bleed throuh

[maus]

good day all… i’m sure this has been addressed, but i can’t seem to find a thread…anyway, when i record in audacity, everything is great for the first track…records left and right channels, everything is great… when i record the second track, however, the sound from the first track bleeds into the second, and i cannot figure out how to fix this. i thought maybe the bleeding was coming from my speakers, so i attached headphones, and the bleeding actually got worse.

i did notice, however, that the Mac version has a drop down called “Audacity” located beside the “File” drop down… windows does not have that button…what is the equivalent drop down for windows? there is an option on Mac that appears to correct my problem…

anyway, thanks…i hope someone can give me a hand…

Audio tracks bleeding !!!

I decided to edit an old Audacity project of 16 tracks, saved about 10 years ago; and to my surprise, sounds can be heard in the background of neighboring tracks as if I were using a multitrack tape recorder. Apart from storing audio tracks as separate files, is there any way to prevent audio tracks in a saved project from leaking?

bleeding into tracks

I’ve just started using Audacity on my laptop (Windows 10). I’m trying to overdub tracks on top of each other. I’m using one Rode condenser mic through a Mackie mixer into my laptop. I can’t seem to find any tutorial that addresses my problem. I lay down a click track and then add a stereo track below it to record an instrument. When playing back the 2nd track after removing the click track, the click track is still very audible in the instrument track. This has happened when I record an instrum…

Bleed from one track to another - windows 10 operating system.

Hi folks I am new to this so please be patient. I imported an mp3 backing track (track 1)and then tried to record a vocal track on track 2. On the vocal track I hear a high level of the backing track. At first I thought the mic was picking up acoustic bleed from my enclosed headphones, they hardly make any acoustic noise at all. So I unplugged the headphones in the room which was silent. I re-recorded the vocal track - the room was completely silent during this process apart from my voice a…

Audio Bleed from Track 1 when Recording Track 2

Hello everyone. Yesterday was the first time I tried using Audacity. I’ve never used it before. I would like to see if anyone has any suggestions regarding a problem with Audio Bleed from Track 1 when Recording Track 2. I’ve seen many posts here on the topic, but most are many years old with different versions of Audacity and other things. I experimented with some of the suggestions but nothing helped. I installed Audacity 2.4.1 on a Windows 8.1 computer. I have a new Alesis Multimix USB 4 FX m…
