Drum trak plays and records again when trying to record guitar trak

[Son of Leod]

Hi, I have been using multitrak consoles for decades, and am still using my Yamaha AW16G for a lot of stuff.

I'm collaborating with a friend now and decided to try Cakewalk as an easier means of sharing traks, ideas, etc.

Anyway, I lay down and record a SI Drums trak.  First its a MIDI trak and I am able to monitor it no problem.

Next I connect my Boss GT100 guitar pedal/interface and get that set up. I am able to monitor the drum trak and also the guitar (Audio) trak with no problem. When I try to record the Guitar trak, the drum trak audio plays thru the guitar trak (show in the meters) but i still can hear both. If I try to record the guitar, the Drums on trak 1 get recorded on my Guitar trak as well.

So... I let this record (without) playing guitar and now have an audio trak of the drums. I delete the MIDI trak and insert a new Audio trak for the guitar but same thing happens... if i hit Record, the drums record on the guitar trak again, along with the guitar, which of course sounds horrible.

 

I've tried several different Input/Output scenarios but all fail.

 

On my console, everything just records, plays, monitors, etc like normal. I cant get my head around this DAW stuff.

It depends on the audio interface you are using. If it is a built in windows audio device like Realtek then make sure that the record what you hear option is turned off. 

Otherwise we need more information about your setup and audio routing.

Thanks for the reply. As started above, I use my Boss GT 100 for interface.

I have figured out the solution... The Gt 100 wants to control input and output drivers and I needed to "deselect" the Boss from the Output driver selection and choose the default speaker/headphone driver.

 

All good.
