Adobe AUdition Question
 

Heya,

I am trying to layer tracks for something of not-great magnitude. What I am doing is this:

I record one track and then plug headphones in and record a second track while the first is playing in the headphones.

The problem is that no matter what I do, the program seems to layer the previous track, even though it is only in the headphones, into the new track and it causes sound distortions. Is this a shortcoming of my sound card or is it an easy fix option in the program; I have never really tried using Audition for this before so I don't know.

thanks!

I think what's probably up here is what you've chosen for your recording options under your sound card.

If you go to the control panel - select sound and audio devices - then click volume to bring up the play control (the mixer screen)- go to options - properties and select recording and click ok - this'll let you see what your sound card will record.

I'm guessing just now you probably have "What you hear" or "Wave" selected - decheck them and select only the input of where you are trying to record from- line in or mic in - whatever. You should now only recording from that source whilst being able to play back what you have previously recorded.

The fact that you can record and play back already suggests that your sound card should be capable of this.

If that doesn't work then do post up and I'll have a look at my version.

best of luck.
