How/what are you recording and what source/input have you selected? If you are recording "Stereo Mix" or "What-U-Hear", then you are are going to record mixed sounds, otherwise, you should only be recording one thing at a time.

The settings for recording internet audio are different from the ones for overdubbing, sound-on-sound and live recording. You need to be sure you're recording from a real physical device like Mic-In or Line-In, not one of the made up "fake" devices like Stereo Mix.

Here it is. I thought we wrote simple recording instructions.
