8 Studio Ghost in the Machine
Howdy All,
Out of nowhere, any tracks that I have already recorded on suddenly want to write to whatever armed track is currently recording. It is as if all the tracks mix down into the armed track while I'm trying to record live into the armed track. This has never happened before and as far as I can recall, I've altered nothing in Sonar, Patchmix or any ASIO driver to make this happen. Any help on this bizzare occurance?
Thanks,
S

Check your mixer applet (even the Windows sound mixer should do), look at the recording propeties. Sounds like you (or something, whatever) may have enabled the "Mixer/Soundcard Out" record function which allows you to record anything passing thru the soundcard.

If you're using a SoundBlaster, turn off What You Hear in the SB mixer app. If not, as SToons indicated, you have routed the playback to the inputs and so you're re-recording the playback.

Yep. That is exactly what is going on here: playback is being re-recorded through the armed track. There does not seem to be a way to prevent this. I'm using Emu Patchmix as the mixing software/soundcard controller and it seems to be functioning status quo. Mega-frustration here.

As I don't have an EMU card you'll likely have to do some reading: http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/reader.aspx/2007013041

I did not know that's possible with E-MU :o). What model of E-MU soundcard are you using?
There sure is a way to prevent it, didn't you say yourself that this happened "suddenly", so you have used the system without problems before?
Are you sure you've not accidentally switched to using your integrated soundchip?
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Have you made any changes of any kind on your machine?
MS updates, etc?
Double check your Patchmix routing. Does anything look odd?
Do you have System Restore enabled? If so, check for an event you may be unaware of.
If nothing else, you might try restoring to a checkpoint before you noticed the problem.
Just shooting in the dark, but I have had to do it on a few occasions.

Thanks for the advice folks. All your collective advice reals got the gears spinning in my lowly primate skull. The issue has been remedied. But, I still have no clue how the apparition appeared. It disappeared by simply starting a new Patchmix session using the virtual mixer, then reloading the old saved one from which the original issue sprang. When the original session was re-opened, the ghost was gone.
Very strange and paranormal indeed.
I'll be upgrading machines (PCAL Rok Box 7x) and to Sonar X1 shortly. Hopefully ghosts like these will be just that - ghosts.
