I use acid for percussion/rythm only, because I am a pianist with a
good keyboard for the other instruments. A few days ago I used record
to play a guitar track into the the track list as the Acid drummer
did its stuff. the result was only a guitar take.
Now I try to do that again and the result is always a mix of the
percussion tracks and my synth guitar part. I can't solo the
guitar. I am using a soundblaster with Live drive, and acid 2.o.
Does anybody know how i got my first results of a solo guitar
take...acidized (quantized I guess too) I don't find a drop down
list for choosing a source for the record track (as described in the
help file). thanks if anyone has a comment on recording a wave into
acid in synch with the work already there.
Paul

With a SB Live, you have to set up the Windows Mixer or the SB mixer
to select your recording source. ACID has no control over how the
hardware is routed.

Greetings Paul,
I been using Acid for a while. I have recorded several complete songs
using as many as twenty-five tracks. I've never had this problem.
Sounds like you need to review the setup of your sound card mixers,
record source, etc. This is not an Acid problem but a sound card
software setup problem.
Salute,
Jon
