missing something simple . . .

When I record a new audio track, the previous tracks that are playing back are coming thru on the new track. What am I missing?
Setup:
mic in mixer channel 1; sent to alt 3/4 fader to alt 3/4 outs to audiophile in
HStudio: recording track input left audiophile; recording track output master bus; master bus output - audiophile outs
Audiophile outs to mixer channel 7/8; sent to alt 3/4 fader to control room outs to monitor/phones

Thanks

I have an audiophile 192 using ASIO driver.
I opened the m-audio delta control panel. I don't see a what your hear setting or anything resembling that.

Thanks for the info. I have a Behringer XENYX 1204FX.

I have all the cables routed as described on the "Tweakheadz" website which seems to be very good. I think the problem is which buttons I'm selecting on the mixer. I'll experiment with your suggestions.

By the way, my main outs are only xlrs and I'd rather not buy more cables unless I really need to.

I own and use the XENYX2222fx...........

The montoring sections are identical.

I just ran your exact set up it will difinetely NOTwork.

On that board one of the 2 set ups I gave you will work.

Sorry if you need more cables to use XLR's.

If you use "tape in" to monitor you won't need more cables.

There is always the option of monitoring off the Audiophile.......which many people do.

In that case you'll need to go to "help' and read up on input monitoring and latency.

Or.................read the Audiophile 192 manual and become familiar with the M-Audio control panel and its routing capabilities.

Like I said..there are many options for monitoring with a mixer and your card.

Good luck.

You do not need XLR cables.

Isn't that what i just said??

If you use "tape in" to monitor you won't need more cables.

4. Connect the Control Room Out OR the Tape Out to your speakers. The Control Room Out will let you use the Solo button to listen to individual channels, and you can also preview the ALT 3-4 and the computer's output.

5. Enable ASIO monitoring in the Audiophile's control panel

No need to solo or input monitor anything..........select alt 3-4and tape in @ source section. Done.

The whole point of using harware mixer is to avoid input software monitoring and eliminate latency issues.

Like I said before if you choose to use tape in for monitoring and wish to maintain independent volume control of 3-4 and tape in, you will have to adjust mix levels @ M-audio control panel or within SHS(which could affect export levels depending on your settings). Any gain adjustments made @3-4 for monitoring purposes will result in change in recording levels.

The 192 is a balanced in/out interface. I would buy the cables and maintain a balanced signal path.

The OP bought the mixer....SHS6 and 192 interface........ buy a pair of cables.

Again.......

Mixer channel #1 or whatever / bus to main out /main out XLR balanced / 192 1/4 balanced in 1-2 / SHS6......no input monitoring.

SHS6 / 192 1-2 out / mixer stereo 7-8 in /bus to 3-4

@ source select 3-4 to monitor what you've recorded and select main to monitor what you are recording...........Why?????

1. Leave sends open for FX and headphone cues.......or extra outs.
2. Leave returns open for MIDI intruments or line level sources.
3. Zero latency monitoring


4. Independent fader controlled Volume control of SHS6 at mixer(7-8)
What I am saying here is this........when tracking say a guitar..........you may want to hear the guitar a little louder against what you've already recorded right?
If you are using 3-4 to record out of and you arbitrarely reach down and move volume of guitar up @ either alt3-4 or channel#1 it will change your recording levels......you'll have to use either M-Audio conrol panel or SHS to bring down mix.

If you have SHS6 routed back to mixer 7-8 you can adjust the mix volume at 7-8 fader without affecting the guitar you are trying to record. Remember if you reach down a use the control room/ source knob it will bring everything up or down.......no independent control..........

If you don't mind toggling back and forth between M-Audio control panel or SHS its not an issue...........I prefer to have it on the mixer............somethings to hot, bam turn it off.......I have 2 friends both Audiophile owners popped their tweeters getting a suprise volume @ the M-Audio Control panel...I know, I know their bad. But still a risk. Some home Engineers turn down their monitors @ the monitor or amp but their then losing the best gain structure for clean headroom.

5. Ability to EQ monitors.
6. Ability to to pan mix or isolate left and right areas of mix.........yep its useful.
6. Almost same as 2.......Use tape in as extra input to monitor MIDI devices or other sound sources without commiting to recording.....or using up channel input.......example play back a MIDI drum track using drum machine..monitor drum machine @ tape in....without having to record until later......use drum machine volume control to adjust levels at tape in........same could be done with a keyboard.
7. Tape out is unbalanced......use for alternate mix

OR

Use XENYX as a dedicated pre and monitor off card................it is set up for that.

Thats a whole seperate deal.

Lots of ways to do it.......this only my preference.

Thanks for the room to ramble.

Tony..

Sorry for info overload.

Try the set up I laid out........

Read my little rant on............ Why?

Real basically

With your mixer........you'll be able to monitor and record with ZERO Bleed.

And you'll be dinking with your interface and DAW software less.

You recommend using the main for monitoring what I'm recording and the alt3/4 bus for what's already recorded. I'm doing the opposite of this. Does it make any difference?

Other than a balanced connection.............. No, It doesn't matter. Most people likely do it that way.......3-4 out and main monitor. that wil work perfectly.

I actually.......being kind of a metal tone tweaker ............ recorded from and tested every output my board has...........

I recorded w/EQ
Without/EQ
Hot
Low
Stereo
Mono
Subs
Sends
mains
inserts
tape out
everything......................

What I found was my main outs were a little cleaner, warmer than the other out puts.

The sub outs were close, but the tape outs and sends were noticeably less quality.

So I chose to record using main outs for best possible signal.

I also have 2 sets of main outs so I have them routed to accomodate live playing and recording........without having to use my studio monitors..


Sounds like your gettin there.....................you'll find ways to expand on your routing within in your set up..........there are a ton of other options.

For what its worth I have owned and sold quite a lot of gear over the years........

I have found the XENYX mixers excellent at their price point.......it was a good choice for a small board.

Good luck
