Subject:Recording issues Posted by: yup Date:7/2/2004 9:59:17 PM Ok heres my problem. I have acid 2.0. Im running 2 sound cards. I play guitar into a sound blaster live card using guitarfx amp sim software and record it with a sound blaster audigy card. The problem is after I record a track, I go back to record another track while acid plays the track I just recorded, but Im getting bleed off into my new track. In other words, the previously recorded track is being recorded along with my "live" recording. Any suggestions? I dont think its a big deal to fix, but Im a little stumped at the moment. Audigy is set to "what you hear" recording, which is probably why its doing this, but the "line in" recording setting doesnt seem to record the guitar very "hot" at all.

Subject:RE: Recording issues Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:7/3/2004 6:29:11 AM Yea, if you want the tracks to be separate you need to tell the Audigy card to only record line-in. "What you hear" is recording everything, inputs, outputs, the works (as you have seen). If line-in is too low you need a preamp. A guitar is not a line level signal. You can also try pluging the guitar into the mic-in because that has a built-in pre-amp but that may be too loud and distort. If that’s the case try removing the mic boost which is found in the volume panel using the advanced button under microphone volume slider. (Your panel may be different if you are using the Audigy volume control panel but it should be there somewhere.) ~jr
