Question about MultiTrck recrding of sounds directly from PC
Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2008 5:59 pm
Hi there.
I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can record Multi-Tracks of sound files from the PC without overlaying the previous recorded track(s) into the new track(s) being recorded.
I have my preferences set to "Play other tracks while recording new one", and it's set on Stereo Mix. I'm trying to record different sounds using my VST Synthesizers, but everytime I do, I get the previous track(s) playing into the new track being recorded. I know the reason for this is because each one of my tracks is set to play music and sounds from the sound card, but I need Audacity to mute the sound signal(s) from the previous track(s) that were recorded, which are now being played and monitored, to the recording of the current track being recorded, and allow only current sounds being played in Real-Time to be recorded onto the new track while being able to hear and monitor the others track(s) that was/were recorded.
It sounds kind of complicated I guess, but all I want to do is record a new track while listening to my previous track, without it trying to overlay and record the playback track into the new track that's being recorded.
Like I said, all of the playing and recording is coming directly from my computer, not an outside source such as a cable connected into my Mic or Line In from an actual instrument.
So please don't say, "Well sorry about your luck if you're doing everything from and on your PC's soundcard as for as playing and recording goes", 'cause if that's the case, that makes this program quite useless for certain recording purposes.
Thank You Very Much. I appreciate any helpful answers.
