Using Multiple Tracks, when I am trying to record onto one track, the track i've recorded "bleeds" into the track I'm recording

While recording a track, when I am trying to record onto
one track (for example a bass line), the track i've
recorded previously (for example my drums) "bleeds" into
the track (the before-mentioned bass track) I'm recording
now. Is there something I can do to control that.

I hope I'm not being to confusing or vague. I just wanna
make music.

Take Care,

Could you describe your setup? It sounds like a simple
routing problem to me. Somehow the output from your
soundcard is being routed to the input you have selected
for your 2nd track.

Okay Rob
Hear it goes (please be patients for I'm a newbie)

I run everything from a Behringer Mixer thru the computer.
When I check the the routing I have four choices:

Microsoft Sound Mapper
Soundmax Digital Audio
1: Roland UA-100 Wave 1
1: Roland UA-100 Wave 2

I would have thought by routing one track to the first
Roland Wave (1) and another to the second Roland Wave (2)
after recording on (1), I route the other track to (2).
That is when it all "bleeds" together. Then I would route
one track to (1) and route the other to Soundmax Digital
Audio, which works fine. But when I play it back, the
tracks aren't synching up.

I hope that helps...thanks for your help.

I would suspect that when you are playing back your first
track you are also routing it to the inputs of your
soundcard through your behringer board, either by a buss or
a send, or stereo buss. You don't mention how you actually
route audio from your mixer outputs to your sound cards
inputs, so that info would help.

I found the answer. Vegas I guess can be a very tricky
thing. Thanks to everyone who helped. I really appreciate
it.

Peace

care to post your discovery?

I'm gonna guess it was a panning issue?

Well All I did was continue to route the stuff I've
recorded to the soundmax, and I would route what I would be
recording to the UA-100. I don't know if that was cheating
or not, but it works. Unfortunately, I have a new kind of
problem. While I'm recording, I stops and starts over
again (the computer freezing up?) But I'm not even using a
1/3 of my RAM. Or maybe that's the problem. And to
paraphrase the axiom, "Only a bad musician blames his
tools", maybe it's something that I haven't thought about.

Thanks for your support. I see and read you guys catch a
lot of crap because a bug or something might creep in, or
it's not the end all be all at the time. But again no
one's perfect. But alas I'm rambling when you guys could be
answering my question.

Take it easy.
