Why does one track bleed into another?

OK - drums and bass synth are down, so is first guitar track but when I add FX to the guitar - these bleed onto the other tracks. Also, when playing back, even without FX, and I ... solo the bass for example - I still hear in the 'background' the sound of the drums.

Also when beginning to record the guitar, there is a general lowering of the sound quality of other tracks when the record button is pressed just before I play a guitar part onto its own track.

Any ideas much appreciated ...

Nick

    Make sure you dont have the tracks you have already recorded "armed".....meaning make sure the little red "R" button is not depressed after you have recorded the track.

    And what kind of sound card are you using?.....How are you recording the guitar into the computer?

    Hi Gray

    The Record button has not been on or pressed while recording other tracks - thanks for suggestion though. I'm recording the guitar by running a lead from it into my mixer (an LTO S-8) and recoring it without FX into my song via an analogue 'in'. The mixer is connected to my Terratec EWS 24/96 soundcard.

    Didn't think I was particularly stupid but recording music using computers is not that simple. There seem to be so many variables, ifs and buts. I fly jets for a living. That is a whole lot easier.

    Lastly - there is no tutorial on my installation to be found. Page 24 of the Calewalk 2004 'Getting Started' booklet says - Choose File Open, then in the dialogue box, double click the tutuorials folder and select file TUTORIAL.CWP ...... I don't have that file or folder!! Any ideas are welcome.

    Make sure your mixer (on the PC) is not set to "record what you hear."
