Subject:Bleed-over from adjacent tracks!

When I record new sounds while listening to
previously recorded tracks I can hear the previously
recorded tracks in the new sound when it is played by
itself. How can I isolate and record only the new sound and
still monitor existing tracks? My sound card is
Creative Ensoniq PCI ES1371. It happens with Mic and
Line-in. Is anyone using a sound card where this
does not happen? Which one should I buy??? Thanks. :-)

The sound card has to operate in "full duplex" mode in order to
record a separate file while playing back. I'm not sure if that card
is full duplex or not, but some of the SoundBlaster type cards have
an option in the control panel which lets you check or uncheck "Full
duplex operation", or something to that effect. Look up the ES1371
under "Sound video and Game controllers" in Control Panel/ System,
and make sure that option is on if it's there. Otherwise, you might
have to get a newer driver, or just a newer sound card.
