PLEASE HELP!! (Sonar cakewalk 7)

[bluemustard]

Hi,
I just got sonar cakewalk 7.
I use to have this problem before with another version but fixed it but now i forgot how to fix it with sonar 7.
I have 8 tracks.
I record a vocal in track one.
Then i goto track 2 and record another vocal but it also copies track 1.
I want everything on separate tracks.
Please help.

Download Reaper !

lol.. its free and better,
I also paid for Sonar....

[Panamark]

Ok wild guess here..
If you are not using headphones, the mic is picking up
the first track from your monitors ?

[bluemustard]

Hi Panamark!
I'll check out reaper.
I'm using headphone.
On my other pc cakewalk old version works fine but this one picks up the vocals of previous tracks.
It's crazy..it's fucking pissing me off..LOL
Gonna check reaper now.

[bluemustard]

Check it out when i press record in track 2.
It just takes track 1.

[bluemustard]

Does reaper take vst plugins?

[Panamark]

Reaper works with every VST plugin I have thrown at it...

[bluemustard]

Thanks!
I'm gonna go outside and cool off cause i'm ready to break some shit.
My mission is to record in Sonar 7 and i can't get this shit to work.
Reaper is nice but i got some problems there too.

Looking at your screenshot you are recording mono tracks with two input devices selected
realtek (l and R) and Master

[Panamark]

Ah I know what it is..

Its in your soundcard setup..

I know on the Soundblaster Audigy its
Turn off the "Record What you hear option" in the SB mixer.

[Panamark]

Realtek probably has a similar setup in its audio setup..
Hey get a real digital audio interface

[bluemustard]

wow..thanks man..almost there maybe.
This is what i got now.
It records the vocal without the first track mixing with it.
The only thing is that when I record the 2nd track I can't hear the first track in the background because I put MASTER off in track 1.


Wha to do?

[bluemustard]

Ah I know what it is..

Its in your soundcard setup..

I know on the Soundblaster Audigy its
Turn off the "Record What you hear option" in the SB mixer.

Shit..I think you're right.
Let me test that.
Yes..i need better soundcard interface..LOL
Man..thanks so much!!
Gonna test some shit now.
