Beginner question about recording

Hi. When I try to record a guitar overdub in a Live arrangement, the output from any other tracks that are playing ends up on the guitar track along with the guitar. Similarly if I try to record along to the metronome, this gets recorded on the guitar track. How can I record along to the arrangement/ metronome, so that I just record the guitar, and nothing else?
Cheers.

Use headphones.

Sorry- should've said I'm recording through the line in, not from a microphone. I didn't mean the arrangement's being picked up from the speakers, but within the program somehow..

That must be from some internal routing in your soundcard probably. If you set a track to record from a single input, you shouldn't get anything else there.

Hmm.. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Can you give more infos about your configuration?
PC/Mac
Soundcard which one?
Are you using an external Mixer or not?

Yeah sure.. Its a PC (Dell dimension 3000), with just a built in soundcard (soundMax Digital Audio, I think), and Asio4all - if that makes a difference? I don't use a mixer or anything like that..
Please let me know if you need anymore info.
Thanks!

I've solved the problem now - thank GOD!! My sound card was set to record from the stereo mix rather than line in. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated
