First Audio record repets over again on other records. HELP

Post by Knownothing » Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:28 pm

Hi, thx for reading.
Sorry for the bad english, i will try my best here.
When i record my guittar, the program create a audiotrack (audio 1). If i press "record" again, the program will create i new audiotrack (audio 2), but this new audiotrack is a copy of audiotrack1 plus what i played on guittar. For exemple: I play first song "x", now i want to play song "y", the second audiotrack is "x+y" mixed, i want a second audiotrack just with "y". Got it?, i want all guittar clean of each other no mixes, But the program keeps mixe'n the records i do.
Pls Help

The problem is probably your sound card's "Record" settings.
Check the Record settings for your sound card - you probably have it set to record from "Stereo Mix" (sometimes called "What U Hear", or "Mix").
You need to set the recording source to the actual input that you are using (for example "Line In" or "Mic In").
