Hey David,
This may be a silly suggestion, but did your headphones bleed into the
microphone during your second and third recording? The mic might be
picking up what was playing back to you in your headphones. Solo on of
your recordings just to make sure and see if the guide track is still there.
If that's not the case, check the routings tab in Qtractor and see if
something is routed in a weird way. However, I'm guessing you just
recorded headphone bleed.
I hope this helps!,

Several years ago I managed to produce some multi-track midi files
using qTractor.
Now I want to do something fairly simple using audio tracks. Just to
get myself back into using qTractor after a very long break, and to
find out how to do what I want, I decided to try something very simple
to start with. I want to record a guide track using my voice, and
then record 3 other voice tracks (separately), listening to the guide
track through an earpiece. Then I shall delete the guide track and
experiment with altering the pan settings on two of the other 3 tracks
to see if I can get a good stereo effect. I'm using an HP laptop and
its internal microphone, with an earpiece plugged into the computer's
headphone socket; no sound comes from the computer's speakers, of course.
Recording the guide track is no problem. To record the second track,
I set it up as an unmonitored audio track and set the guide track to
solo. I then record the new track whilst listening to the guide track
through the earpiece.
But after recording the second track, even if I delete the guide
track, I can still faintly hear what was on the guide track - in other
words, the new track has recorded the contents of the guide track at
the same time as the new input from the microphone. I have tried this
several times, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - probably
because I'm a musician and not a sound engineer.
If anyone has the patience to try to steer me though this, I shall be
extremely grateful.
David
