Ok, seems I spoke too soon!. Thought I had figured this problem out but...NOOOOOO!. I've got a Soundblaster Live Value Card ( yah, I know, I know ..) and a Tascam M30 8 Channel mixer with Cubase VST 5. Anyone suggest an optimum set-up? . It seems no matter how I configure the Soundcard/Cubase/Mixer outputs ( I monitor through the mixer - but don't have a @#$@##$ manual so might not be using the proper output/input functions - i.e. tried line in/tape in/submix in/ monitor out/submix out various combinations but no dice! same goes for the soundcard's mixer function combinations). The problems is I am either 1) not able to monitor the previously recorded track(s) while trying to record a new track, or I am getting the previously recorded track's signal leaking/combining with the new source I am trying to record on a new track. @#$@#!@#!@#!!!. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my original ranting/post for reference:
After having recorded the first track, I set up the next track to be recorded using of course a different channel number ( i.e. first track was on channel's 1&2 while the new track 2 is on channels 3&4 ( or 3 if mono ), I then click on 'enable' to proceed with recording the new track. I click on the mixer and click the ' in' button to get a level for the new track while also monitoring the playback of the first track, at which time I note that this track 1's signal is also being input into this newly selected channel as well. In other words, the new track's mixer channel strip is also receiving input from the first track ( albeit the level is more like a 'bleed' type ). If I go ahead and record the new track I also get the first track's music incorporated ( in the background ) with whatever else I record on this new track.
