hi.....what do i set to record another track.....(another instrument) or vocal....without the first track playing along on the track........see i got to mix it......
Hi,
You can do two things, mute the 1st track then record 2nd track if you want to record 3rd track mute 1st and 2nd track then record. When you want to listen what you have recorded un mute and Play.
You can also check Recording settings
When Music Maker is open click "R" key on computer then un check the mark Playback while recording. Adjust settings which help you.
Note: I tried to attach screen shots twice but never showed up.(Technical problem here)
Thank you

Hi,
The problem is to be able to listen the mix and to sing / play an instrument and record it in real time. If you mute the music tracks, you are not able to play/sing in parallel.
Generaly you can fix this problem with the control panel of your sound card. It depends on your sound card. You need a full duplex sound card. Generaly you can select independently what you listen and what you record. With quite all the soundcards you can :
. listen a mix of the DAW (your MMM music mix) + your mic. Some sound cards allow to redirect the mic directly to the output without using any software and to mix it with the other inputs (MMM by ex.), avoiding latency between what you sing/play and what you hear in your headphones. In this case you can mute the track you are recording, avoiding a playback echo in your headphone. It does not mute the recording, but only the re-reading of the track.
. record only your mic, or a mix of your inputs (several mics by ex. but only on 1 track for MMM).
Users have to understand how their soundcard works and study their possibilities. At the beginning, it is no evident. It is easier with music dedicated soundcards which offer a dynamic allocation of inputs and outputs.
