OK, I'll try and explain this, When I try to record my vocals the instrumental comes through. I already had my instrumental loaded in the first track, when I added the 2nd for my vocals the instrumental came through, I have already checked my sound card settings and its not on play all or stereo mode. there is something else too, My mic wil not work in the microphone jack on the front of the computer, it only plays in the input jack. when I loaded audacity it did the same thing on it, the instrumental played through both tracks, but when I used the mic slot it worked on audacity but you know that when you record using audacity you can't hear yourself while you record your vocals which is why I went to try reaper. I hope this makes since. I just trying to record the vocals without the instrumental coming through the 2nd track. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
