Problem recording additional tracks

[jcweatherby]

ProTools is recording sound from Track 1 (input L) onto Track 2 on top of what I'm recording for the new track (input R). For instance, the click track and drum tracks record on the guitar track when I try to record guitar. Hitting the "solo" button on the mixer stops this, but then I can't hear the other track when I'm recording... I'm on a PC, using a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound system, and I'm using the phono input on the main drive exclusively... Any ideas?

Is it just me? I'm working with the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum system on a 1.2 ghz pentium class Win/ME machine. Recording becomes a problem when I want to record and listen to pre-recorded tracks as I record new tracks. It appears there is no interface between the software and the audio hardware. ProTools Free takes ANY sound; system sound, CD audio, internal click, any pre-recorded track, and routes it onto the new track regardless of the input selection. I've been poking around with input selection and sends, muting, soloing - anything I can think of. How do I get ProTools Free to select from the various inputs of the board (and there are several; a 1/4" phono jack, RCA, optical, SPDIF, and midi), and eliminate other incoming sounds, (like sounds from a neighboring track)?

Use your windows control-panel (the little speaker on your task-bar) to set the recording input only to your line-in.....
