How do I stop Magix Music Studio re-recording track 1 into track 2?

Dear people, I really need your help.

I feel like I spend most of my time trying to sort problems out with Magix Music studio. Here is my current issue.

I have recorded a drum riff into track one and this has all gone well. Now when I click record on track 2 in which I want to record my guitar onto, I cannot because even with the speakers turned off, unplugged etc, it somehow records the music from track 1 into track 2! This is really frustrating and the only reason I persist with it is because I have paid for it.

Can anyone please please help??

Blessings

Presumably your are trying to record and play the drum track at the same time - when you select record for track 2 what are you setting as the source to record from?

What sound card are you using / is installed on your PC?

Hi John,

Yes thats correct. Or even if I record 1 guitar track (Electro accoustic pluggedin with a 3.5mm jack) and then another guitar track over the top.

I think it is a sound card issue. I have a Realtech High Definition sound card in. Now I turn this OFF I can still record the keyboard into the software using the same 3.5mm jack but I cannot record the guitar into it. If with the card turned off I record the keyboard and then record a second track with the keyboard, then I do not have the issue in question of recording the first track again.

Once again if I turn the card back on then I am able to record the guitar but it will re-record the second track.

The strange thing is that this software on this pc used to work perfect and I dont know what has changed.

Thanks for your help.

I suspected you had a Realtek card.

Check the following setting in MMM - if it is set to the Stereo Mixer then you will record what is playing as well as what is coming in from the guitar

With the guitar preamp plugged into the Aux socket (blue) you should be able to play and hear the previous track at the same time - not guaranteed as it depends on which Realtek drivers you have - the computer manufacturers or Realteks.

I would suspect the problem arose after a Windows update updated the Realtek drivers - if the above does not work, try updating the drivers using the Realtek ones.

Hello Rob,

I hope you can get your issue resolved, as I have the same issue that started after upgrading to a new PC and software setup.

I have the old PC still, and the older Creative card and Magix software still work flawlessly, albiet, slower due to the age of the unit, but the set-up works well. only the newer hardware, and software have this track bleed over issue.

VERY frustrating.. beginning to think it is a driver or hardware problem that wont resolve with "the latest drivers"

please let me know if you find a fix ;)
