I must say that I was complaining about Mixpad earlier but I did find the main problem was my inexperience using it. Today I recorded an acoustic guitar on track 1 then cancelled the record button on track 1 and activated the record button on track 2, put the track play indicator back to start then hit record button at the bottom with my headphones plugged into my Focusrite Scarlett. Track 1 played in my headphones and I played along on successfully on track 2. I repeated the process with track three and played a bass line. it all worked, thankfully. I was only able to do this with my headphones, instruments and microphone all running off my Focusrite Scarlett interface. the minute I plug anything other than my Focusrite interface into my laptop usb the whole thing stops working correctly. all I can say is keep the computer clear with only the interface running into and out of the usb socket. I hope that helps. I need to practice with the software for a bit myself to get used to it - I'm only a beginner.

This is looking like a common problem with this software. How can it be so difficult to multitrack with a multitracking software? First it wouldn't play at all while my Focusrite Scarlet was plugged into the usb. Somehow I got that to work and now it won't allow me to hear track 1 while recording another part on track 2. Is this not the whole point of the thing. I chose this NCH Mixpad because I liked Wavepad - now I' thinking it was a mistake. Can anybody help?
