Configuring Inputs for Recording -ACID Product Family

Subject:Configuring Inputs for Recording Posted by: deeplfo Date:12/30/2002 1:43:24 PM I'm currently taking a split of my mixer's main outs to the input of the sound card for recording. Now this is causing problems when I want to record a new audio track (from an external synth) since I get the existing tracks' audio fed back again as input along with the new audio. Where what I really need is the existing audio playback while recording only the new audio. I can think of a few scenarios as possible solutions, but was wondering how everyone else is handling setting up of inputs for recording along side playback of existing audio? Thanks, Mohsen

In my Audiophile 2496 I set up the mixer with the wave playback and SPDIF faders open for monitoring and use the SPDIF as input for recording into Acid/Vegas. HTH Erik

You should then be able to send whatever signal via the tape outs (or control outs) back to the Sound Blaster's line in for recording. HTH, Iacobus
