can any of you gentlemen help a sweet lady out? (1 Viewer)

[stereodee]

i'm having issues with my recording setup currently...

heres the scenario:
typically i use ableton live to record and sequence...but i've since switched back to acid for a little while until i get some hardware issues straightened out... my dilemma happens to be this:

using acid pro 4:
i will insert a drum track or some sort of sample to keep time while i record say a synth part or a guitar part.... so essentially there is one track playing while i'm recording - this is the issue - i don't ever remember running into this problem before when i was using acid 3 - and i know its probably a small issue, but i when i finish recording the 2nd track - and when i play it back, it has the first track recorded along in with the second track - which essentially totally phases out the drum sequence because now there are "2" drum tracks....the initial drum track i was playing along with - and that track playing back and recording in my second track....

how can i fix this?

please help out a pretty lady....
thanks.

This mind sound silly, but you're not just recording the drum track through the mike are you. You are using headphones to play/ sing along with the track?

Or is it some sort of track leaking issue?

By any chance are you using a soundblaster card and do you by any chance have the recording input set to 'What you Hear' in the Audio properties? That would explain your dilemma. If not you need to give more details. soundcard, computer type etc. etc.
