When I record a second track, garageband will record the first one again, even if I'm with headphones on. How can I stop it?

That's really annoying, because I can't put an effect in the second track, once that the part of the first track that's together will be changed too. And it happens with a third track, and so on, the other tracks will be together with the track i just have recorded.

If anybody could help me, I'd be really grateful.

P.S.: it only happens with the audio recorder, and it didn't happen before.

GarageBand (iPad), iOS 6.1.3

Ok, now, this will sound nonsense, but I solved the problem by changing my headphones.

I yet can't understand why did that happen, because the GB can't catch the audio of both of them, but, at least everything is going well now.

I'm using GB 1.4 for Ipad 4, my IOS is 6.1.3, and the only mic is the one of the Ipad.

That's exactly the point: I'm recording the second track and the audio of the first one is appearing in the background, but the music is only being played through the headphones, and there is no way for the audio recorder be listening to it.

The first track i just sing with the guitar, then I tried to put a solo and backing vocals and this started to happen...

Thank you for the attention!

Don't know if your still having issues but I just tried turning down all the tracks I have previously recorded and the audio recorder is no longer picking them up! Might just be an issue with too much volume during playback and recording. Try to turn all your tracks down about half and then recording the second track. Best wishes

GB can only record something on the second track that the mic is picking up (assuming you are recording with a mic), so the first track must be audible. You must be doing something wrong - can you give us details about your setup and what you are recording?

Does the iPad have a combination microphone/headphone jack? Could be that there was bleed from the headphone to the mic jack.
