Recording Vocals over already recorded guitar track in Audition 3.0

Question

Hi there,

I'm currently working on a few home recordings and wondered if someone could help. I've recorded my guitar track for an original song and would like to record my vocals on top. However, when I arm up to record on 'Multitrack view' and go ahead, my newly recorded vocal track affects the guitar track.

In an ideal world, I'd like to be able to hear my original track whilst singing, so as I'm in time, but for that not to affect the original track simultaneously.

Does anyone have any advice? I'd love to keep all the recordings authentic and then add any effects/reverb etc afterwards in post.

Many thanks, Joe Buckingham (UK)

Normally when this happens, it's the other way around - you lay down the guitar track and then it appears to bleed into the vocal track, even though you only had it quietly in headphones. If that's what is actually happening with you, it means that the replay feed into the headphones is getting mixed with the mic feed, and the whole lot gets back to the vocal track.

So the first question (other than wherther this is actually the correct scenario?) is - what sound device are you using?
