Semar.... There are so many devices on the market.... and many of them try to do several things in one box. I have always tried to stay away from those sorts of things. Almost invariably, they cause some sort of issue when you try to use them to do certain things in a different way. Not saying that this is the case with your gear....I would need to see it and play with it to figure that out.

Somehow, in the FG, the audio coming from the DAW is being placed on the input to the new track as well.

Since I don't use Real Band as a DAW, I really don't know much about the track input output assignments.

My personal preference is to use Cakewalk's Sonar as my DAW. To me, it is a much more versatile DAW, things are pretty straight forward, and it supports full duplex recording. Which essentially means, I can select any and all tracks to hear in my playback, PLUS I can monitor my live track being recorded in the mix and as I record, I know for a certainty that the only thing being recorded on that new track is the ONE instrument I have selected from the list of live audio inputs from the soundcard/interface.

I still be believe the issue you have is directly related to the way the inputs are set up for that track. The F-G would need to have the physical circuits and software in it to keep the audio returning from the computer from getting mixed into the new stuff you are playing on it that is being recorded. The possibility exists that this is NOT the case.

If that proves to be the case, nothing you do will resolve it. You would need to have an external interface. I don't know enough about the keyboard based workstations with built in interfaces to know for sure if that is the issue since I don't use one or own one.

Do you know anyone who has a good interface you could borrow? OR...... go buy one at Sam Ash or Guitar Center because both stores IIRC have a 45 day no questions 100% refund policy. Het an M-Audio, Presonus, Focusrite, or equivalent USB based interface that uses ASIO drivers and see if that solves the problem.


One more thought and question. As you are playing back and recording the FG output... this is where you are getting the other stuff in that track....I assume that you are recording this in AUDIO? Have you tried setting up a midi track, assign the midi channel something other than omni and try recording that way? Since it's not audio, you should not get anything other than the midi data recorded..... simply assign a softsynth of your choice to monitor and playback.

Just curious.....

Also... I use Cakewalk Sonar for my DAW.... Sonar now days but I used to use Music Creator with great results. I love PG's stuff, because there's nothing else like it on the market that does what it does so well, but when it comes to the Real Band DAW, I preferred the versatility I have in CW. I might be wrong, but to me, things just seem to be a bit easier to get the work done I need doing. Perhaps it's simply because I am more familiar with it's intricacies and functions. I know how to do what I need to do and Sonar does it well. I use Real Band in my work, but not as a DAW.

One of these days, I will have another look and go at the RB DAW to see what it can do. I just need to find the time to set and play around...and that's hard to find.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
