FAO: Anyone who will kindly offer me assitance.
Dear Sirs/ Madams/ Music Buffs/ Music Conisuiers/ Part-time Producers/spotty little teenagers chancing their arm at electronic music prosuction,
I sit here, writing to you all in crisis with regard to my current home recording set up.
First of all I'll list my equiptment set up as I know you techies like it:
One is currently sporting a...
MIXER - Behringer XENYXX 802
SOUNDCARD - M-Audio Delta Audiophile
SOFTWARE - Cubase
AUDIO CABLES - A tangled bunch of just about everything I need, just, I fear in the wrong order
If I listed anything else it would be deemed useless and I would possibly be accused of showing off, however, if you require any other info to resolve my problem (insert confused, desperate smiley here) please do let me know.
Ok, so if you've reached this far, I gather you are interested and ready to help, and for that... I cannot thank you enough (insert standard smiley face here (still have got my head around the emotions thing)) any way, I digress...
My problem is this....
I am unable to record audio separately whilst I am listening to a prerecorded audio sample. Whenever I try to a layer a track, for example a guitar audio clip and then add vocals (this happened earlier by the way!), I seem to record not only whats running through the mic but also whats playing through the headphones (and speakers unless I turn them off). I am almost certain this is a problem with the way I have set up my mixer.
Essentially I cannot record new audio clips whilst listening to existing ones playing my headphones. I am convinced its a problem with the way I have set up my mixer????
Now, I am the first to admit, that if I had had spent 2 years at college studying music as apposed to plumbing, I would have cracked this by now.
To aid your (hopeful) diagnosis of this situation I have attached pictures of my setup....

Now, I am fully aware of how the world goes round, so if there is any plumbing, heating or boiler questions you need answering please let me know : )
I look forward to your responses.
Peace, love, serenity and most importantly, the ability to record audio with ease.
Take care,
Mark
