I downloaded WavePad yesterday to record myself playing guitar with backing tracks streaming over the internet using the built in microphone on my computer. It comes out very, very distorted. If I record only my guitar playing, it comes out fine. If I record just the backing track, it comes out very distorted even if I turn the sound down on my computer speakers. So, it appears that it is recording the sound not from the speakers into the built in microphone on my computer, but directly from the internet. Is there any way I can cut down on the gain from the internet, or is there a way I can adjust the volume level with some sort of a VU meter on the program? Thanks.
