Jim: Not necessarilly. Are you using the alt 3-4 outputs of your mackie 1202 to connect to your fw410's inputs? If you do this, then you can assign whatever you want to record to the alt 3-4 outputs by pressing the mute button on that channel. Only mute the input you are recording from.

I know that there are some issues with the lack of accessibility to the fw410 control pannel. Are you using a hardware mixer? How are you connecting whatever it is you are recording to the inputs of your fw410?

How do you have it connected? It sounds like there is some sort of loop back happening where the output of your audio card is being fed back into the input or something.

When I unarm track 1 (audio track) and then arm track 2,the playback from track 1 is recorded onto track 2, along with whatever I record. Any ideas as to what might be happening here?
