Hey!
I have a problem. I tried several software multitrack recorders, but when I record the first track (drums) and want to add another (bass) the first one is automaticaly "added" into the second one. Example:I want to record the tracks separately, drums first than bass and so on. Drums should be the starting point. I would like to record only bass on the next track, but would like to hear drums in my earphones for rythm. What happens to me is that drums are also recorded in the "only-for-bass" track...Can someone help? Thanks a lot! |

| What recording software are you using now and what type/kind of sound card? |

In order to record one track whilst playing back another, you need a computer that is equipped with a "Full Duplex" soundcard.
Most multimedia machines built within the past few years will have onboard sound that is full duplex, however, if you are using an older machine, you should check the manufacturer's handbook.
Installing a full duplex soundcard, such as any of the Soundblaster/Audigy range by Creative, will solve this problem relatively cheaply.
If you are aware that your soundcard is already full duplex, the problem could be caused quite simply by the settings in your recording software. the first thing to check is to make sure that your windows mixer is not set to "Mix" or "What u hear" as this will cause the software to record the entire output. So make sure that you only have the line-in channel selected for monitoring.

| If you read the first post Ms. Lynne it is easy to see the user is already moving at warp speed changing software and settings to achieve a goal that is illusive to this point. I like to try and slow them down, get more focus and address the many issues that are unique to each individual and thier hardware/software/brainware environment. But if it seems useful to add decades old full duplex information that serves no purpose but to confuse the user even more....swing on. |

Hi Brien
You seem to enjoy criticising my posts, yet i don't see any useful information at all from you in this thread relating to the user's problem.
Don't you think it is at least useful to supply some general information that they may not have thought of? Not only for their benefit, but also for the many hundreds of people who read these threads trying to pick up some useful information.
FYI, Half duplex cards were still regularly installed in PCs little more than 5 years ago. Not everyone can afford to update their machine every couple of years.
Perhaps when Veselikeeker eventually answers your question, you will be able to solve his/her problem.
