linked voice recordings and instrumentals, how to un-link?
So I have been using the garageband instruments, and then recording voice over them. But my problem is that even when I mute the instruments to just play with the voice, the instruments are recorded (linked) with the voice. When I look closer at the audio waveforms on the voice I see that there are two wave forms for the voice and instruments, but I dont understand why it would do that... I mean what use would that ever have if you already have separate tracks for everything? seems like a strange default...
Anyway, is their an option to just record your voice alone, while listening to the beats you've made? I have some voice stuff I'd really rather not do over so I was wondering if their is a way to un-link this. I feel like their is a simple solution but I cant figure it out, so thatnks to anyone that can help a pikachu out.
ALSO I am using headphones, a Berringer USB audio interface and a sm-58 mic. So its not just me being dumb and recording my voice with the instuments in the background.
THANKS SO MUCH
