I'm looking for a little help...when I am recording with Sonar X2 Studio I get bleed over recording on to subsequent tracks.  My operating system is Windows 8.  I'm about to lose my mind trying to figure this out.  Helppp!!

I don't understand what "bleed over recording" means.  Is a single recording getting recorded on other tracks?  Turn off the recording button on those tracks - nothing will get recorded.  If the meters are bouncing, go to the Inspector and to the bottom where your input/outputs are labeled.  Change the input to "none."  That will keep the track from "seeing" (or hearing) the signal at the input and metering it.  That is good housekeeping, since an input signal can also find its way to the output.

You won't get good help without supplying more information about your system. How are we suppose to guess what is causing this? I'm afraid Windows 8 would be the last thing involved in audio issues. 
List your audio signal path, audio interface, are you using a microphone, headphones etc. 

I'm going to guess he's talking about re-recording the output of existing tracks along with input signal on new tracks. Assuming no external mixer routing weirdness is involved, this can only happen if the the interface is routing the output signal back to the input via software mixing. This commonly occurs with onboard soundcard mixers with input set to "What U Hear" or "Stereo Mix". It should be set to something like "Line In" or "Mic In".
 
This can happen with the software mixers for more advanced audio interfaces, too, but is not likely to be the default setup.
 
 

Hmm.
 
5 hours and just a flyby.
 
I think we all need a LOT more information before his problem can be analysed any further

I'm sure Brundlefly already nailed it.

When I first started recording on a digital machine, I experienced something that could be described that way.  Eventually I realized that the microphone was picking up the sound bleeding out from my headphones, which were turned up fairly loud.

Thanks gang for all of your quick responses.  Please bare with me.  I'm relatively new to digital audio recording however, at this time it seems like its woth the investment of my time and money.  My gear consists of  a Toshiba Satelite PSC2EU-04R00L Notebook Laptop, w/3gb of RAM, 64bit Operating System, Windows 8.1 Enterprise; w/282gb of available Harddrive; I use Sonar X2 Studio, EZDrummer 2.  I run my guitars through a Behringer EUROPOWER PMP4000 powered mixer via MIDISPORT 2x2 Anniversary Edition, and Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface.  The problem:  When I cut and paste a drum track from ezdrummer 2 into a track on my Sonar X2 DAW...at the time that I press record on an audio track, to record an accompaning Bass Guitar line, and then press play,  the track for the Bass Guitar's VU meters will start registering the drum licks, from the previously recorded ezdrummer 2 track.  In other words the recorded drum licks are heard on the preceding tracks.  Make any sense?????  Work with me fellas

The old "turn off What you hear" remedy.  I remember the good old days of the Soundblaster cards when you could post that answer on every thread and be right at least twice a day.

Is the drum track the chicken or the egg? I'm not following which track is the "preceding track". The drums should be live audio from MIDI-driven EZDrummer. You don't ever have to "record" soft synth output. You just "freeze" it eventually if the CPU load of live soft synths and other plugins gets too high or leave it live until you're ready to export the whole project.
 
Basically, it sounds like you have both Ins and Outs of the UCA222 routed to the Behringer mixer, and you need to make sure you're not recording from the main bus in the Behringer because all previously recorded tracks and live soft synths are going to be riding that to your monitoring system during both playback and recording.
 
This isn't a SONAR issue, it's an external mixer routing problem. What you need to do to fix it depends on what I/O connections you're making between the audio interface and the Behringer.
