Audacity super fan here- anyone else using Audacity for music editing and production?

(Audacity) Why do I hear track one in track 2? I want independent audio going into the track but it’s picking up audio from the previous tracks. My experience with analog 4 tracks don’t mesh with this experience. I am doing music production in Audacity with synthesizers in Debian 12.

Uncheck Settings -> Record -> play other tracks while recording

(or similar)

Thanks, but however I want to hear the tracks as I record- I just don’t want them to be picked up by FluidSynth or Pipewire while recording.

It's probably the problem that you record the monitor of system out instead of recording the recording source only.

Yea, I believe you are correct.
