Can't hear original track when overdubbing

Post by CZTK » Mon Feb 25, 2013 3:10 am

Hi, I'm new at this, and it's probably a simple fix, but I did everything I was supposed to according to the wiki and manual and it's still not working...despite the fact that it was yesterday and I'm doing everything exactly the same...running whatever the newest version is on Windows 7 with a mobilepre USB soundcard...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps that this card doesn't support it :(

Unless you tell us, we don't know what you have tried - the manual and wiki are big documents ;)

What settings do you have in the Device Toolbar?
How are your headphones/speakers connected to the system?
