    the first step is to turn off caps lock and forget you have that button on your keyboard. in addition to making your post look like you are yelling the entire time, it is very hard and annoying to read.

    the second step is to check out the recording options on your soundcard, which i'm going to guess is probably a soundblaster or worse yet, a built-in soundcard. the recording settings are probably set to "what you hear", which is recording everything. set the recording to "line in" or "mic" depending on which input you are using.

    Third step is to go to the Music Creator Forum. You'll probably get better responses there.

    And a possible fourth step, if you have an Audigy/Creative/Sound Blaster sound card, turn off "What You Hear" in your sound card's mixer. HTH.


    Oh yeah, lose the all caps.
