I think if you're completely new to DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) then it would be good for you to spend a few days or weeks with the online help or if you've downloaded the help and tutorials files have a look around for a file they ends in *.chm.

I don't want to presume your level of knowledge but you seem a bit new to all this so forgive me as I don't want to sound condescending.

Quite new yes so sorry for any stupid/annoying questions.

SONAR will only record to an armed track. In your situation with tracks 1/4 above, track 1 should no longer be armed, and should also have input echo disabled. I am presuming you have track 1's input echo on so you are hearing it. There is no need to change any input jacks on your audio interface, just be mindful of what you are telling SONAR to actually do.

Input echo is a specific button? Edit: oh i know what you mean. But then how do i record while playing back? I need to hear the other guitar from the old track sometimes when playing a new track.

Where I am it's way past my bedtime. Mettelus will keep you going I hope. Al the best.

Thanks. We're almost there i think :) sleep well.

Correct. If a track is not armed and has no input echo, you will only hear the prerecorded material in that track when the transport is running.

Ok, well i think i'm starting to get it. I will go through this thread again when i'm using Sonar again. Thanks for all the help!

Couldn't sleep. Thought I'd check in. Keep hanging in there do the tutorials over and over till you get it. Sounds really basic but in the early days I went back to them all the time. Even now when there's a special feature I don't use often comes up, I do some refreshing from the manual that's what it's there for. All the best

I will for sure. Thanks!
