Hi Robert

I'm just messing around at the moment. What I have are MIDI drums on track 1 and I'm trying to record a guitar part on track 2. When I hit record, the drums and the metronome are being recorded on track 2 along with the guitar. 

On track 2, input settings are: Stereo M-Audio Deltal ASIO Analog in 1 - Delta AP

Output is M-Audio Delta ASIO Analog out 1/2 Delta AP


Thanks

So the issue is: track two is receiving a mix instead of a single channel. Does analog-in 1 represent a monitor mix in the Delta, or should it represent the first *actual* input...

This is a routing problem. How do you have your guitar connected to the computer? Somehow you are routing the playback to the input channel and so both are being recorded. Its either being done internally (so check the M-Audio control panel) or externally, perhaps through a mixer. How are you monitoring the playback, i.e., headphones or speakers? 

Chaps I've sussed it!

The problem lay with a setting on my Yamaha mixer. There's an option on each channel to either route to stereo outs or to a group (1-2). I usually have my instrument channels on the mixer going to the group output and the monitor channel going directly to the stereo outs. Someone (probably one of the kids) had pressed the (1-2) button on that channel so it was being routed to the group. Simply releasing the button cured the problem!

I told you it would be daft but you guys have been great. Thanks for all your help :-)

Glad you found it!


I always thought sound bleed was an auditory problem, like hearing Christmas music in early November and wanting to shove pencils in my ears...

Glad you figured it out after I told you it could be a problem routing through a mixer. Good job!
